Problema Solution
P1=(2,-3); P2=(8, 5) Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points
Answer provided by our tutors
The midpoint of two points, (x1, y2) and (x2, y2) is the point M found by the following formula:
M = ((x1+x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2)
In our case (x1, y1) = (2, -3), (x2, y2) = (8, 5) so the midpoint is:
M = ((2 + 8)/2, (-3 + 5)/2)
M = (5, 1)
