Question

Find the midpoint of A and B where A has coordinates (8, 2) and B has coordinates (3,8).

Answer 1

Answer:

(5.5, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

( $\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2}$ , $\frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2}$ )

here (x₁, y₁ ) = A (8, 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B (3, 8 ) , then

midpoint = ( $\frac{8+3}{2}$ , $\frac{2+8}{2}$ ) = ( $\frac{11}{2}$ , $\frac{10}{2}$ ) = (5.5, 5 )
