Question

How do you find the midpoint of (2,2)(6,4)?

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

The formula to find the mid-point of a line segment give the two end points is:

`M = ((color(red)(x_1) + color(blue)(x_2))/2 , (color(red)(y_1) + color(blue)(y_2))/2)`

Where `M` is the midpoint and the given points are:

`color(red)((x_1, y_1))` and `color(blue)((x_2, y_2))`

Substituting the values from the problem gives:

`M = ((color(red)(2) + color(blue)(6))/2 , (color(red)(2) + color(blue)(4))/2) = (8/2, 6/2) = (4, 3)`
