The endpoints of a line segment graphed on a Cartesian coordinate system are (2, -5) and (-4, 2). What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment?

The midpoint formula is a formula used to find the midpoint of a line segment on a coordinate plane. It is calculated by averaging the x-coordinates of the endpoints and averaging the y-coordinates of the endpoints. The midpoint can be seen as the point that divides the line segment into two equal parts.

To get the midpoint between two points, the x-coordinate of the resulting point is the average of the x-coordinates of your two points. Similar for the y-coordinate. Take the average of the endpoints, calculate the average of the x-coordinates.
The coordinates of the midpoint are the averages of the coordinates of the end points. So (0, 7.5).
The coordinates of the midpoint are the averages of the coordinates of the end points. So (0, 7.5).
To calculate the x-coordinate of the midpoint of a horizontal segment, you simply take the sum of x-coordinate of the endpoints of the horizontal segment and divide this by two. An example is if one is given endpoints with th x and y coordinates 2,3 and 5,6. To find the midpoint of the x-coordinates add 2 and 5 and divide this by 2, or 7/2.
The 'x' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'x' coordinates of the segment's ends. The 'y' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'y' coordinates of the segment's ends.
-- The 'x' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'x'-coordinates of the end-points. -- The 'y' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'y'-coordinates of the end-points.
