Question

Find the coordinates for the midpoint of the segment with endpoints given. (5,6) and (8,2)​

Answer 1

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{8}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{8+5}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{2+6}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{13}{2}~,~\cfrac{8}{2} \right)\implies \left(6\frac{1}{2}~,~4 \right)$
