Find the Midpoint (-0.5,-0.6) , (-0.2,0.4)

$(- 0.5, - 0.6)$ , $(- 0.2, 0.4)$

Step 1

Use the midpoint formula to find the midpoint of the line segment.

$(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2})$

Step 2

Substitute in the values for $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ .

$(\frac{- 0.5 - 0.2}{2}, \frac{- 0.6 + 0.4}{2})$

Step 3

Subtract $0.2$ from $- 0.5$ .

$(\frac{- 0.7}{2}, \frac{- 0.6 + 0.4}{2})$

Step 4

Divide $- 0.7$ by $2$ .

$(- 0.35, \frac{- 0.6 + 0.4}{2})$

Step 5

Add $- 0.6$ and $0.4$ .

$(- 0.35, \frac{- 0.2}{2})$

Step 6

Divide $- 0.2$ by $2$ .

$(- 0.35, - 0.1)$
