Question

How do you find the midpoint of (2,-3) and (8,-1)?

Answer 1

Coordinates of mid point is `color(purple)((5,-2)`

Explanation:

Let A and B the points and C the midpoint

`A(2,-3), B(8,-1)`

Coordinates of mid point C is given by

`x = (x_1 + x_2)/2, y = (y_1 + y_2)/2`

`C (x,y) = (2+8)/2, (-3 + (-1))/2`

`C (x,y) = (5,-2)`
