Find the midpoint of segment AB if A is the point (4,1) and B is the point (4/3, 3).

Question

You must write your answer as a point. Use improper fractions if necessary.

Answer 1

Add the two x coordinates and divide by 2 and do the same with the y coordinates:

(4 + (4/3))/2 = 8/3 <x coordinate>

(1 + 3)/2 = 2 <y coordinate>

Answer 2

How do you find halfway between two numbers? Halfway between -7 and 13 is (-7 + 13)/2 = 6/2 = 3, right?

Go.
