Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints.
(8,4) and (2,7)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Use the midpoint formula:
`(ChangeInX)/(2) ,(ChangeInY)/(2)`

So, the Change In X is 2-8 = -6

And the Change in Y is 7-4 = 3

Once you divide both of the changes by 2, you get

X: -3

Y:
`(3)/(2)`

So the midpoint is:
`(-3,(3)/(2))`
