Question

How do you find the midpoint of two coordinates Example: (3,9) and (2,4)

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

using the midpoint formula

given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

(
`(x_(1)+x_(2) )/(2)` ,
`(y_(1)+y_(2) )/(2)` ) ← midpoint formula

here (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 9 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 4 )

midpoint = (
`(3+2)/(2)` ,
`(9+4)/(2)` ) = (
`(5)/(2)` ,
`(13)/(2)` ) = ( 2.5, 6.5 )

Answer 2

hi

to find midpoint, you add Xs and divide by two and add Ys and divide by two.

A (x1; y1) B ( x2 ; y2) midpoint is : M ( (x1+x2) /2 ; (y1+y2) /2 )

so here x1 = 3 , x 2 = 2 so Xm = ( 3 +2) /2 = 5/2 = 2.5

y 1 = 9 ; y 2 = 4 so Ym = ( 9+4) /2 = 13/2 = 6.5

So midpoint is M ( 2.5 ; 6.5 )
