Question

How do you find the midpoint of A(8,3) and B(10,-5)?

Answer 1

The mid point `=(9.-1)`

Explanation:

The coordinates are:
`A(8,3) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1`

`B(10,-5) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2`

The mid point is calculated using formula:
`(x_1+x_2)/2, (y_1+y_2)/2`

`=(8+10)/2, (3+(-5))/2`

`=(18)/2, (-2)/2`

`=(9.-1)`
