Find the midpoint of the two given endpoints

Question

(0,2) and (2,4)

Answer 1

To find the midpoint you sort of split the points into x and y, and deal with them separately.

We will first work with the x

In this case, the first x is 0 and the second x is 2. The midway between these two points is 1. So 1 is the x coordinate of the midpoint.

Now we work with y. The first y is 2, the second 4. midway between these is 3. So the y coordinate of the midpoint is 3.

The answer is (1,3)

If that was confusing, there is a formula, which you can use and plug in the values. The midpoint formula is:

If we use the formula, We get this:

The exact same answer.
