Question

The endpoint of AB are A(9,-7) and B(8,2) find the coordinates of the midpoint M

Answer 1

Answer: (8.5, -2.5)

Explanation:

The midpoint formula tells us the midpoint of two points...

`M =( (x1 + x2)/(2) ,(y1 + y2)/(2))`

And hopefully this makes sense; we are averaging the x and y values to find their "middle"!

plugging in, you'd get the midpoint to be (8.5, -2.5)
