Find the midpoint of the line segment PQ
P(2, 9), Q (5, 5)

First add the x-coordinates together to get

Divide that result by 2

So the x-coordinate of the midpoint is

Now add the y-coordinates together to get

Divide that result by 2

So the y-coordinate of the midpoint is

So the midpoint between the points

and
