Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of HX. H(5.5, -4.75) and X(3.75, -2.75)

Answer 1

( 4.625, - 3.75 )

the midpoint of (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) is

[$\frac{1}{2}$(x₁ + x₂ ), $\frac{1}{2}$(y₁ + y₂ ) ]

here (x₁, y₁ ) = (5.5, - 4.75 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3.75, - 2.75 )

[ $\frac{1}{2}$(5.5 + 3.75 ), $\frac{1}{2}$(- 4.75 - 2.75 ) ]

= (4.625, - 3.75 ) ← midpoint of HX
