Question

PQ has endpoint p(0,0)and Q(8,4) find the coordinates of the mid point pq

Answer 1

The answer is (4,2).

Midpoint formula:
$(x \: y) = ( \frac{x2 - x1}{2}) (\frac{y2 - y1}{2} )$
Find the x value:
$x = ( \frac{x2 - x1}{2} )$
Plug in the givens:
$x = \frac{8 - 0}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4$
Find the y value:
$y = ( \frac{y2 - y1}{2} )$
Plug in the values:
$y = ( \frac{4 - 0}{2} ) = \frac{4}{2} = 2$
