Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

$(6.5,6)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the midpoint formula:

$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Identify your values:

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

Substitute:

$(\frac{8+5}{2},\frac{10+2}{2})$

Combine terms:

$(\frac{13}{2},\frac{12}{2})$

Divide:

$(6.5,6)$
