Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of LB if L(8,5) and B(-6,2)

10 points!!!

Answer 1

A, (1, 3+1/2)

Explanation:

Midpoint formula for reference: m= {(x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2}

Plugging in the points we get: m= {(8 - 6)/2, (5 + 2)/2}

Now we simplify using PEMDAS. First step is parentheses.

m= {2/2, 7/2}

Simplifying again (and making 7/2 a mixed number), it becomes

m= {1, 3+1/2}

Hope this helps!
