Question

Find the mid point of A and B where A has coordinates (8,5) and B has coordinates (3,7)

Answer 1

(5.5,6)

Explanation:

(x1+x2)/2 and (y1+y2)/2. to get (x,y)

In this case, 8+3=11 and 5+7=12

11/2 = 5.5 and 12/2 = 6.

The coordinates of the midpoint, is (5.5,6)

Answer 2

( 5.5 , 6)

Explanation:

midpoint = ( x1 + x2/2, y1 +y2/2)

where x1 is 8 , x2 is 3 , y1 is 5 and y2 is 7

= ( 8 +3/2 , 5+7/2)

= ( 11/2 , 12/2)

= ( 5.5 , 6)
