Question

Find the midpoint of point A(5,5) and B(-5,9) graphically

Answer 1

(0,7)

Explanation:

A(5,5) and B(-5,9)

x1,y1 x2,y2

midpoint formula: (X1 + X2 / 2, y 1 + Y 2 / 2)

(5+(-5)/2, 5+9/2)

( 0, 7)

Answer 2

M(0, 7)

Explanation:

The attachment shows a plot of the segment and the X and Y coordinates of the midpoint. These can be found on a graph by counting squares and finding the point that is half the distance horizontally (X) and vertically (Y) between the given points.

The coordinates of the midpoint (M) are the x-coordinate of X (0) and the y-coordinate of Y (7).

M(0, 7) is the midpoint of AB
