Question

2. What is the x-coordinate of the midpoint between the points
(5,7) and (11,6)?

Answer 1

x- coordinate = 8

Explanation:

The x- coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the x- coordinates of the 2 endpoints, that is

`(5+11)/(2)` =
`(16)/(2)` = 8 ← x- coordinate of midpoint

Answer 2

Explanation:

Use the midpoint formula

M (5-11/2; 7-6/2)

M (-3; 1/2)

X-coordinate is -3
