Question

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

Answer 1

(5.5, 5 )

Explanation:

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

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

here (x₁, y₁ ) = A (8, 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B (3, 8 ) , then

midpoint = (
`(8+3)/(2)` ,
`(2+8)/(2)` ) = (
`(11)/(2)` ,
`(10)/(2)` ) = (5.5, 5 )
