Answer:
The x-coordinate is -1.25
The y-coordinate is 4.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Jonathan would like to find the midpoint of the line segment with the endpoints.
F(-10.5,3) and G(8,6.5)
Let mid-point of FG be M(x,y)
We need to find the mid-point of FG.
Formula:
[tex](x,y)\rightarrow (\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2})[/tex]
[tex]x_1\rightarrow -10.5[/tex]
[tex]x_2\rightarrow 8[/tex]
[tex]y_1\rightarrow 3[/tex]
[tex]y_2\rightarrow 6.5[/tex]
[tex](M(x,y)\rightarrow (\dfrac{-10.5+8}{2},\dfrac{3+6.5}{2})[/tex]
[tex](M(x,y)\rightarrow (-1.25,4.75)[/tex]
Hence, The x-coordinate is -1.25 and The y-coordinate is 4.75
