Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints (4,6) (1,3)

Answer 1

`~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ 1 +4}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 3 +6}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ 5 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 9 }{2} \right)\implies \left(2(1)/(2)~~,~~4(1)/(2) \right)`
