Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (10, 13) and (−7, 7).

Answer 1

Let the midpoint be (x,y). We can find it by using the midpoint formula.

(x,y) = ($\frac{10-7}{2}$, $\frac{13+7}{2}$)

(x,y) = ($\frac{3}{2}$,$\frac{20}{2}$)

(x,y) = (1.5,10)

Thus, the midpoint is (1.5,10).
