| Solved by pluggable solver: Midpoint |
The first point is (x1,y1). The second point is (x2,y2) Since the first point is (1, 5), we can say (x1, y1) = (1, 5) So Since the second point is (5, 10), we can also say (x2, y2) = (5, 10) So Put this all together to get: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finding the x coordinate of the midpoint: Add up the corresponding x coordinates x1 and x2 and divide that sum by 2 X Coordinate of Midpoint = X Coordinate of Midpoint = X Coordinate of Midpoint = X Coordinate of Midpoint = So the x coordinate of the midpoint is 3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finding the y coordinate of the midpoint: Add up the corresponding y coordinates y1 and y2 and divide that sum by 2 Y Coordinate of Midpoint = Y Coordinate of Midpoint = Y Coordinate of Midpoint = Y Coordinate of Midpoint = So the y coordinate of the midpoint is 7.5 =============================================================================== Summary: The midpoint of the segment joining the two points (1, 5) and (5, 10) is (3, 7.5). So the answer is (3, 7.5) |
