Question

The points A(12,7)A12,7, B(12,-3)B12,-3, C(-2,-3)C-2,-3, and D(-2,7)D-2,7 form rectangle ABCDABCD. Which point is halfway between AA and BB?

Answer 1

To find the midpoint of line segment AB, we find the total distance for both x and y  coordinates and then divide each answer by 2.

A (12, 7)
B (12, -3)

Mid point ($\frac{12+12}{2}$, $\frac{7+-3}{2}$)
Mid point ($\frac{24}{2}$, $\frac{4}{2}$}
Mid point (12, 2)
