Question

How do you find the midpoint of V(-8,1.2), W(-8, 7.4)?

Answer 1

You find the midpoints (mean) of both the `x` and `y` co-ordinates.
Let's call the midpoint `P(x_P,y_P)`

Explanation:

`x_P=-8`, as both `x_Vandx_W` are `-8`

`y_P=(y_V+y_W)/2=(1.2+7.4)/2=4.3`

So the midpoint is `P(-8,4.3)`
