Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoint (9,2) and (5,5)

Answer 1

(7, 3.5)

Explanation:

find the distances between the x and y

9 and 5 are 4 apart, and 2 and 5 are 3 apart

divide those distances by 2

4/2 = 2, 3/2 = 1.5

add those distances to the smaller of the x and y

5 + 2 = 7, 2 + 1.5 = 3.5

those two numbers are the midpoint (7, 3.5)
