Question

What is the midpoint between (5,1) and (-1,4)

Answer 1

Answer:

2, $\frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

     Coordinates  =  (5,1) and (-1,4)

Unknown:

The midpoint = ?

Solution:

 To find the midpoint of these endpoints;

   this can be mathematically expressed as;

  x$_{m}$ , y$_{m}$  = $\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2} , \frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2}$

  From the given coordinates;

        x₁ = 5                             y₁ = 1

       x₂  =   -1                          y₂ = 4

x$_{m}$ , y$_{m}$ = $\frac{5+(-1)}{2}$  ,  $\frac{1 + 4}{2}$   = 2, $\frac{5}{2}$
