Question

Find the midpoint of X (26,56) and Y (26,1)

Answer 1

( 26 , 28.5 )

Explanation:

(
`x_(1)` ,
`y_(1)` )

(
`x_(2)` ,
`y_(2)` )

(
`(x_(1) +x_(2) )/(2)` ,
`(y_(1) +y_(2) )/(2)` )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

X ( 26 , 56 )

Y ( 26 , 1 )

(
`(26+26)/(2)` ,
`(56+1)/(2)` ) = ( 26 , 28.5 )

Answer 2

(26,
`(57)/(2)`)

Explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the coordinates (26, 56) and (26, 1)

We want to find the midpoint of these two points

The midpoint can be found using the formula
`((x_1 + x_2)/(2) , (y_1 + y_2)/(2))`, where
`(x_1, y_1)` &
`(x_2, y_2)` are points

We have 2 points, which is what we need to find the midpoint, but let's label the values of the points to avoid confusion and mistakes when actually calculating

`x_1=26\\y_1=56\\x_2=26\\y_2=1`

Now substitute these values into the formula.

`((x_1 + x_2)/(2) , (y_1 + y_2)/(2))`

`((26 + 26)/(2) , (56+ 1)/(2))`

Add the numbers together

`((52)/(2) , (57)/(2))`

Divide

(26,
`(57)/(2)`)

Hope this helps!
