Question

2) Find the midpoints of the line segment with endpoints ( 4 42, 5/2) and ( 10/7, 4/7)

Answer 1

`(4(1)/(12),(5)/(2))((10)/(7),(4)/(7))`

the mid point is between 10/7 and 4 1/2

we can use an average to calculate the midpoint

so

`\begin{gathered} ((10)/(7)+4(1)/(2))/(2) \\ \\ ((83)/(14))/(2) \\ =(83)/(28)\approx2.96 \end{gathered}`

now on Y

`\begin{gathered} ((5)/(2)+(4)/(7))/(2) \\ =(43)/(28)\approx1.53 \end{gathered}`

and the point is

`((83)/(28),(43)/(28))`
