~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ M(\stackrel{x_1}{14}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{7})\qquad N(\stackrel{x_2}{-9}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ -9 +14}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 1 +7}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ 5 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 8 }{2} \right)\implies \left(\cfrac{5}{2}~~,~~4 \right)

Explanation:

Midpoint formula should be taken into consideration.

  • M=

  • ( (x1 + x2)/(2) ... (y1 + y2)/(2) ) \\ ( (14 + ( - 9))/(2) .....( (7 + 1)/(2) ) \\ ( (5)/(2) .... (8)/(2) ) \\ m( (5)/(2) ...4)
  • Hope this helps!!!!
