Question

Someone help me please in so confused find the midpoint of (8,-5) and (3,-1)

Answer 1

Given points A(8, -5) and B(3, -1):

We can use the midpoint formula for this given problem.

Let (x1, y1) = (8, -5)
(x2, y2) = (3, -1)

The midpoint formula is:

M = { [(x1 + x2)/ 2] , [(y1 + y2)/ 2] }

M = { [(8 + 3)/ 2] , [(-5 + -1)/ 2] }

M = { [(11)/ 2] , [(-6)/ 2] }

M = (5.5, -3)

So the midpoint of points A and B is: (5.5, -3), where the x-coordinate is 5.5, and the y-coordinate is -3.

All you need to do is plot the point on the graph.
