How to find the midpoint of a line segment with 2 given point?

Answer 1

If the 2 given points are endpoints, then we're in business. The formula for the midpoint is
`M=( ( x_(1)+ x_(2) )/(2), ( y_(1) + y_(2) )/(2))`. If the endpoints of our segment are the coordinates (1,2) and (12,14), our formula would be filled in as follows:
`M=( (1+12)/(2), (2+14)/(2))` which simplifies to (13/2, 8). See? It's pretty simple once you know how to do it.
