Question

How do you find the midpoint of `(-11/2,10/7)` and `(-7/3,3/14)`?

Answer 1

The mid point is `(x,y)=(-47/12,23/28)`

Explanation:

You take the mean value of each of `x and y`

Consider `x`.

The mean is `1/2(-7/3-11/2) = 1/2(-14/6-33/6) = -47/12`

Consider `y`

The mean is `1/2(10/7+3/14)=1/2(20/14+3/14) =23/28`

So the mid point is `(x,y)=(-47/12,23/28)`
