Question

How do you find the midpoint of P(5,8) Q(4,6)?

Answer 1

The midpoint is `M=(9/2;7)`

Explanation:

If you have coordinates of `2` ends of a section: points `A=(x_A,y_A)` and `B=(x_B;y_B)`, then to calculate the midpoint you can use the formula:

`M=((x_A+x_B)/2;(y_A+y_B)/2)`

If the section is located in `3D` space then you have to add the third coordinate `z_M=(z_A+z_B)/2`
