Question

How do you find the midpoint of A(-2,4) and M(3,1)?

Answer 1

The midpoint `= (1/2, 5/2)`

Explanation:

The coordinates are:
A`(-2,4) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1`

M `(3,1) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2`

The midpoint is calculated using formula:
midpoint `=( (x_1+x_2)/2, (y_1+y_2)/2)`

`= ((-2+3)/2, (4+1)/2)`

`= (1/2, 5/2)`
