Question

Find the midpoint of A and B where A has coordinates (8,2) and B has coordinates (3,8)

Answer 1

The answer is

`( (11)/(2) \: , \: 5)`

Explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

`M = ( (x1 + x2)/(2) , \: (y1 + y2)/(2) )`

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

A (8,2) and B (3,8)

The midpoint is

`M = ( (8 + 3)/(2) \: , \: (2 + 8)/(2) ) \\ = ( (11)/(2) \: , \: (10)/(2) )`

We have the final answer as

`( (11)/(2) \: , \: 5)`

Hope this helps you
