Question

What is the midpoint between (2,4) and (10,16)?

Answer 1

(6, 10 )

Explanation:

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

(
`(x_(1)+x_(2) )/(2)`,
`\frac{y_{1+y_(2) } }{2}` )

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (10, 16) , thus

midpoint =
`(2+10)/(2)`,
`(4+16)/(2)` ) = (
`(12)/(2)`,
`(20)/(2)` ) = (6, 10 )

Answer 2

the midpoint would be (5,9)
