Question

(8,10) and (5,2)
find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints

Answer 1

`(6.5,6)`

Explanation:

Start with the midpoint formula:

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

Identify your values:

`x_1=8\\x_2=5\\y_1=10\\y_2=2`

Substitute:

`((8+5)/(2),(10+2)/(2))`

Combine terms:

`((13)/(2),(12)/(2))`

Divide:

`(6.5,6)`
