Question

How do you find the midpoint of P(2,4) & Q(5,8)?

Answer 1

The midpoint `=(3.5 , 6)`

Explanation:

`P (2,4) = color(blue)(x_1 , y _1)`

`Q (5,8) = color(blue)(x_2 , y _2)`

The midpoint is calculated using formula:
Midpoint `= (color(blue)((x_1 + x _ 2) /2 , ( y_ 1 + y_2) /2 ))`

`=((2+5)/2 , (4+8)/2)`

`=(7/2 , 12/2)`

`=(3.5 , 6)`
