Question

What is the midpoint between points (7, 8) and (-3, 2)?

Answer 1

`(2,5)`

Explanation:

The midpoint formula tells us that if we have two points `(x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2),` then the midpoint between the two points is given by `((x_1+y_1)/2, (x_2+y_2)/2).`

Here, `(x_1, y_1)=(7,8), (x_2, y_2)=(-3, 2)`

The midpoint is then

`((7-3)/2, (8+2)/2)`

`(2,5)`
