Question

Find the midpoint P(16,7) and Q(12, -3) With work.

Answer 1

(14, 2 )

Explanation:

Use the midpoint formula

[0.5(x₁ + x₂), 0.5(y₁ + y₂) ]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (16, 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (12, - 3)

midpoint = [0.5(16 + 12), 0.5(7 - 3) ] = [0.5(28), 0.5(4) ] = (14, 2 )

Answer 2

M= (14, 2)

Explanation:

M= midpoint

M = ((x1+x2)/2), ((y1+y2)/2)

where:

x1=16

x2=12

y1=7

y2=-3

so we have:

M= ((16+12)/2) , ((7-3)/2)

M= (14, 2)
