To find:
The midpoint of the line segment with the endpoints P1(11/2,3/8) and P2 (-7/2,5/8).
Solution:
The midpoint formula is:
[tex](\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})[/tex]Put the values:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (\frac{\frac{11}{2}-\frac{7}{2}}{2},\frac{\frac{3}{8}+\frac{5}{8}}{2})=(\frac{\frac{4}{2}}{2},\frac{\frac{8}{8}}{2}) \\ =(\frac{2}{2},\frac{1}{2}) \\ =(1,\frac{1}{2}) \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the midpoint is (1, 1/2).
