Question

Find the midpoint between the following points 6, -1 and -2,10?Pleaseeee HELP

Answer 1

If we have two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the midpoint is calculated as:

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

So, for points (6,-1) and (-2,10), the midpoint is:

$\begin{gathered} (\frac{6+(-2)}{2},\frac{-1+10}{2}) \\ (\frac{4}{2},\frac{9}{2}) \\ (2,4.5) \end{gathered}$

The midpoint is (2, 4.5)
