Find the midpoint of AB if A(5, -7) and B(11, 2)

Question

Please show all the steps.

Answer 1

(8, -5/2)

just average the x coordinates

and

average the y coordinates

(5+11)/2= 16/2 = 8 = midpoint x coordinate

(-7+2)/2 = -5/2 = midpoint y coordinate

average of two numbers = their sum divided by two
