Question

B (-1,6) and d (9,4) midpoint formula

Answer 1

We have two points and we have to calculate the midpoint.

The coordinates of the midpoint are the average of the coordinates of the two points.

In this case, we have B=(-1, 6) and D=(9, 4), so we can calculate the coordinates of the midpoint M as:

$x=\frac{x_B+x_D}{2}=\frac{-1+9}{2}=\frac{8}{2}=4$$y=\frac{y_B+y_D}{2}=\frac{6+4}{2}=\frac{10}{2}=5$

So the coordinates of the midpoint between B and D is (4, 5).

We can graph it so we can see it:
