Question

How do you find the midpoint of (12,8) and (4,2)?

Answer 1

The midpoint `= (8 , 5)`

Explanation:

`(12,8) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1`
`(4,2) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2`

Midpoint is calculated using formula: `color(blue)(((x_1+x_2)/2 , (y_1+y_2)/2)`

`=( (12+4)/2 , (8+2)/2)`

`= ((16)/2 , (10)/2)`

`= (8 , 5)`
