Question

Find the midpoint of diagonal WY. (4 points) Figure WXYZ is shown. W is at 0, 2. X is at 0, 6. Y is at 6, 6. Z is at 6, 2.

Answer 1

(3,4)

Explanation:

Use the midpoint formula.

Take the x's and add them together, and divide that by 2. Then do the same with the y's.

0+6=6; 6/2=3

2+6=8; 8/2=4

m= (3,4)

Answer 2

Midpoint =
`((X_(w)+ X_(y)  )/(2), (Y_(w)+ Y_(y)  )/(2))`

=
`((0+ 6 )/(2), (2+ 6 )/(2))`

=
`((6)/(2), (8 )/(2))`

= (3, 4)

Answer: (3, 4)
