Question

I NEED HELP!!! has endpoints X(7, 10) and Y(5, –8). Find the coordinates of the midpoint of .

Answer 1

The formula of a midpoint between X and Y:

`M_(XY)\left((x_X+x_Y)/(2),\ (y_X+y_Y)/(2)\right)`

We have the points X(7, 10) and Y(5, -8). Substitute:

`(7+5)/(2)=(12)/(2)=6\\\\(10+(-8))/(2)=(2)/(2)=1`

Answer: (6, 1)
