HELP ME MIDPOINTS

Question

Point M is the midpoint of point A and B. The coordinates for A are (3,-8). The coordinates for B are (5,-2.5). Please help me. I know what the midpoint formula is, and I know how to find the midpoint. I've never done this before, and never been taught. Please help. :

Answer 1

(3+5=8)/2=4

(-8+-2.5=-10.5)/2=-5.25

(4,-5.25)

Answer 2

If (x₁,y₁) is A and (x₂,y₂) is B, then the midpoint is [(x₁+x₂)/2,(y₁+y₂)/2]

Have you had geometry yet? If so, remember the so-called Side-Splitter Theorem. It is the basis for the answer I have given you.

Answer 3

mid = ((3 + 5) / 2, (-8 - 2.5) / 2)
