Capitolo 3, Problema 23
Find the midpoint of each line segment with the given endpoints. (-3, -4) and (6, −8)
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall that the midpoint \( M \) of a line segment with endpoints \( (x_1, y_1) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) \) is given by the formula:
\[ M = \left( \frac{ x_1 + x_2 }{ 2 }, \frac{ y_1 + y_2 }{ 2 } \right) \]
Identify the coordinates of the given endpoints: \( (x_1, y_1) = (-3, -4) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) = (6, -8) \).
Substitute the values into the midpoint formula:
\[ M = \left( \frac{ -3 + 6 }{ 2 }, \frac{ -4 + (-8) }{ 2 } \right) \]
Simplify the expressions inside the parentheses separately:
\[ \frac{ -3 + 6 }{ 2 } = \frac{3}{2} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{ -4 + (-8) }{ 2 } = \frac{ -12 }{ 2 } \]
Write the midpoint as the ordered pair using the simplified values:
\[ M = \left( \frac{3}{2}, -6 \right) \]

Line Segment
A line segment is the part of a line bounded by two endpoints. Knowing the endpoints allows us to analyze properties like length and midpoint, which are fundamental in geometry and algebra.

Midpoint Formula
The midpoint formula calculates the point exactly halfway between two endpoints. It is given by ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2), averaging the x-coordinates and y-coordinates separately to find the midpoint.
