Question
point a is at (-6,8) and point b is at (6,-7).
what is the midpoint of line segment \overline{ab}?
Step1: Aplicar la fórmula del punto medio
La fórmula del punto medio \(M=(x,y)\) entre dos puntos \(A=(x_1,y_1)\) y \(B=(x_2,y_2)\) es \(x=\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}\) y \(y=\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\). Aquí \(x_1=-6\), \(y_1 = 8\), \(x_2=6\), \(y_2=-7\).
Step2: Calcular la coordenada \(x\)
\(x=\frac{-6 + 6}{2}=\frac{0}{2}=0\)
Step3: Calcular la coordenada \(y\)
\(y=\frac{8+(-7)}{2}=\frac{8 - 7}{2}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5\)
