Question

What is the midpoint (9,6), (12,5)​

Answer 1

(10.5, 5.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a formula for calculating the midpoint of two points.

`((x1 + x2)/(2)  , (y1 + y2)/(2) )`

How do we plug the two points into this formula?

(9, 6), (12,5)

9 is x1

6 is y1

12 is x2

5 is y2

This means, when we plug these numbers into the formula... it looks like this:

`((9 + 12)/(2) , (6 + 5)/(2) )`

When we evaluate the new X coordinate of our midpoint:

(9 + 12) / 2 = 10.5

And when we evaluate the new Y coordinate of our midpoint:

(6 + 5) / 2 = 5.5

The final answer is (10.5, 5.5)
