What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are A(−1, 9) and B(3, 8) ?
Enter your answer, as decimals, in the boxes.
So the formula for finding the midpoint is
\((\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})\)
Substituting the values gives
\((\frac{-1+3}{2}, \frac{9+8}{2})\)
\((1,\frac{17}{2})\)
\((1,8.5)\)
