Question

What is the midpoint (9,6), (12,5)​

Answer 1

Answer:

(10.5, 5.5)

Explanation:

There is a formula for calculating the midpoint of two points.

$(\frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )$

How do we plug the two points into this formula?

(9, 6), (12,5)

9 is x1

6 is y1

12 is x2

5 is y2

This means, when we plug these numbers into the formula... it looks like this:

$(\frac{9 + 12}{2} , \frac{6 + 5}{2} )$

When we evaluate the new X coordinate of our midpoint:

(9 + 12) / 2 = 10.5

And when we evaluate the new Y coordinate of our midpoint:

(6 + 5) / 2 = 5.5

The final answer is (10.5, 5.5)
