Question

Find the midpoint of A and B where A has coordinates(2,3) and B has coordinates(8,9)

Answer 1

Answer:

The midpoint is (5,6)

Explanation:

Jus think about it like this mid means middle which can also mean half. So in order to get that half you must add the starting point and the endpoint together, but remember that you have to add x-coordinates with x-coordinates , and y-coordinates with y-coordinates.  In this case, the x-coordinate for the starting point is 2 and the x-coordinate for the endpoint is 8 so add those together and that'll give you 10. But You're looking for the midpoint. So to find the half of something, you must divide by 2. So 10/2 is 5. Now you have the x-coordinate then do the same for the y-coordinate.

Hope this helped :)
