Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints. (8,4) and (2,7)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the midpoint formula: $\frac{ChangeInX}{2} ,\frac{ChangeInY}{2}$

So, the Change In X is 2-8 = -6

And the Change in Y is 7-4 = 3

Once you divide both of the changes by 2, you get

X: -3

Y:  $\frac{3}{2}$

So the midpoint is: $(-3,\frac{3}{2})$
