What is the midpoint of the segment 3,5and 2,2

Question

What is the midpoint?

Answer 1

Hi Selena;

(3,5) and (2,2)

The mid-point between the x-values is...

(x+x₁)/2

(3+2)/2

5/2

2.5

The mid-point between the y-values is...

(y+y₁)/2

(5+2)/2

7/2

3.5

The mid-point coordinate is...

(2.5, 3.5)

Answer 2

Use the expression (x₁+x^₂/2, y₁+y₂/2) to get the x and y coordinates of the midpoint. So add up the x values and divide by 2 to get x at the midpoint, and add up the y values and divide by 2 to get y at the midpoint.
