Question

Midpoint of (3,8) (1,-4)

Answer 1

Hey there!!

Midpoint formula:

...[ (x₁+x₂)/2 , (y₁+y₂)/2 ]

Given:

... (3,8)(1,-4)

Inserting this into the midpoint formula:

... [(3+1)/2 , (8-4)/2]

... (4/2 , 4/2 )

... (2,2) is the midpoint

Hope my answer helps!

Answer 2

The formula of a midpoint:

`M\left((x_1+x_2)/(2),\ (y_1+y_2)/(2)\right)`

We have (3, 8) and (1, -4). Substitute:

`(3+1)/(2)=(4)/(2)=2\\\\(8+(-4))/(2)=(4)/(2)=2`

Answer: (2, 2).
