Question

As Cassie and Sergio worked on Example 2, their teammate, Esther, had difficulty finding the midpoint of BC. The team decided to look for another way to find the midpoint of a line segment. Draw AM with A(3, 4) and M(8, 11) on graph paper. Find the midpoint between Point A and Point M. *

Answer 1

we have:

A(3,4) and M(8,11)

therefore the midpoint between A and B is:

`((x1+x2)/(2),(y1+y2)/(2))=((3+8)/(2),(4+11)/(2))=((11)/(2),(15)/(2))=(5.5,7.5)`

answer: (5.5, 7.5) is the midpoint
