Question

How do you find the midpoint of A(8, 11) and B(–5, 2)?

Answer 1

Midpoint `= ((3)/2 , (13)/2)`

Explanation:

A `(8,11) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1`
B `(-5,2) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2`

Midpoint is calculated using formula: `color(blue)(((x_1+x_2)/2 , (y_1+y_2)/2)`

`=( (8+(-5))/2 , (11+2)/2)`

`= ((3)/2 , (13)/2)`
