Question

I NEED HELP!!! has endpoints X(7, 10) and Y(5, –8). Find the coordinates of the midpoint of .

Answer 1

The formula of a midpoint between X and Y:

$M_{XY}\left(\dfrac{x_X+x_Y}{2},\ \dfrac{y_X+y_Y}{2}\right)$

We have the points X(7, 10) and Y(5, -8). Substitute:

$\dfrac{7+5}{2}=\dfrac{12}{2}=6\\\\\dfrac{10+(-8)}{2}=\dfrac{2}{2}=1$

Answer: (6, 1)
