Find the midpoint of the line joining P(-3, 5) and Q(5, -3).
(1, 1)
(2, 2)
(4, 4)
(4, -4)
Explanation
Mid point = \(\frac{(x_1 + x_2)}{2}\) ; \(\frac{(y_1 + y_2)}{2}\)
= \(\frac{(-3 + 5)}{2} ; \frac{(5 - 3)}{2}\)
= \(\frac{2}{2}\) ; \(\frac{2}{2}\)
= (1, 1)
= \(\frac{(-3 + 5)}{2} ; \frac{(5 - 3)}{2}\)
= \(\frac{2}{2}\) ; \(\frac{2}{2}\)
= (1, 1)
