Question

What's the midpoint between (1,6) and (3,1)

need help

Answer 1

The answer is 2 or 3.5

Answer 2

`(2, (7)/(2) )`

Explanation:

The midpoint between two points is:

`((x_1+x_2)/(2) , (y_1+y_2)/(2) )` when the given points are
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)`

Plug in the points (1,6) and (3,1)

`= ((1+3)/(2) , (6+1)/(2) )\\= ((4)/(2) , (7)/(2) )\\= (2, (7)/(2) )`

Therefore, the midpoint between (1,6) and (3,1) is
`(2, (7)/(2) )`.

I hope this helps!
