Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of HX H(5 1/2, -3 3/4), X(2 1/4, -2 1/4)

The coordinates of the midpoint of HX

Answer 1

• (3 7/8, -3)

Explanation:

Use midpoint formula.

Let the x and y are the coordinates of midpoint.

Find the coordinates:

• x = (5 1/2 + 2 1/4)/2 = (5 2/4 + 2 1/4)/2 = (7 3/4)/2 = 31/4*1/2 = 31/8 = 3 7/8
• y = (-3 3/4 - 2 1/4)/2 = (-5 4/4)/2 = (-6/2) = -3
