The x-component of the mid-point is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2+%2B+%2812+-+2%29%2F2+=+7\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The y-component of the mid-point is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-6+%2B+%288+-%28-6%29%29%2F2+=+1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The mid-point is at (7,1) answer
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Note that $\"7+-+5+=+2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and $\"7+%2B+5+=+12\"$ , so the x-component is
\n" ); document.write( "midway between 2 and 12
\n" ); document.write( "Also, $\"1+%2B+7+=+8\"$ and $\"1+-+7+=+-6\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
