Question

How do you find the midpoint of the line segment joining N(5,4), P(6,3) ?

Answer 1

`M(5 1/2, 3 1/2)`

Explanation:

Simply find the average of the x-values and the average of the y-values. I.e. add them together and divide by 2.

As the midpoint formula this is given as
`((x_1 + x_2)/2 , (y_1 + y_2)/2)`

`((5 + 6)/2 , (4 + 3)/2)`

`M(5 1/2, 3 1/2)`
