Question

Please help :(Find the coordinates of the midpoint of HXH(4 1/2, -4 1/4) , X(2 3/4, -2 1/4)

Answer 1

To find the coordinates of the midpoint of HX, we would apply the midpoint formula which is expressed as

`\text{Midpoint = }\lbrack\frac{(x1\text{ + x2)}}{2},\text{ }\frac{(y1\text{ + y2)}}{2}\rbrack`

From the information given,

`\begin{gathered} x1\text{ = 4}(1)/(2)\text{ = 4.5, x2 = 2}(3)/(4)=\text{ 2.75} \\ y1\text{ = -4}(1)/(2)=-4.5,\text{ }y2=-2(1)/(4)=\text{ - 2.25} \\ \text{Midpoint = }\lbrack\frac{(4.5\text{ + 2.75)}}{2},\text{ }\frac{(-4.5\text{ - 2.25)}}{2}\rbrack \\ \text{Midpoint = (3.625, - 3.375)} \end{gathered}`
