. has endpoints B(5, 9) and C(–4, –3). Find the coordinates of the midpoint of . (0.5, 1.5) (1, 3) (0.5, 3) (1, 6)

(0.5,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given a line that has the endpoints of (5,9) and (-4,-3); we need to find the midpoint of the line.

The midpoint formula is given as (, ), where , , , and are values of coordinate points

to avoid any confusion, we can label the values of the coordinates and then substitute them into the formula to find the midpoint

=5

=9

=-4

=-3

now substitute into the formula

so to find the value x in the midpoint, we'll use this part of the formula:

substitute 5 and -4 into the formula

do the addition on the numerator

or 0.5

now let's find the value of y in the midpoint. we'll use this part of the formula:

substitute 9 and -3 into the formula

do the addition on the numerator

or 3

Therefore the midpoint is (0.5,3)

Hope this helps! :)
