Question

Find the midpoint between (8, 17) and (24, -31)

Answer 1

To find the midpoint between two given points we need to find the average of their coordinates, this is done by adding the numbers and dividing by 2. We have:

`x_{\text{mid}}=(8+24)/(2)=(32)/(2)=16`
`y_{\text{mid}}=(17-31)/(2)=(-14)/(2)=-7`

The midpoint is in the coordinates (16, -7).
