The endpoints of EF are E(xE , yE) and F(xF , yF). What are the coordinates of the midpoint of EF?

I guess you are looking for a general way of writing a midpoint in coordinate system.
we have the following:
E(xe, ye) and F(xf,yf)
then mind point is as follows
((xe+xf)/2, (ye+yf)/2)

Answer:

The coordinates of the midpoint of EF is equal to


((xE+xF)/(2),(yE+yF)/(2))

Explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to


M=((x1+x2)/(2),(y1+y2)/(2))

In this problem we have


(x1,y1)=(xE,yE)


(x2,y2)=(xF,yF)

Substitute the values in the formula


M=((xE+xF)/(2),(yE+yF)/(2))
