Use the midpoint formula. It is the same as finding the average of x and the average of y:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x1 + x2)/2 will give the x value.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(y1 + y2)/2 will give the y value.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Plug in the values:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x1, y1) = (-2, 9)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(x2, y2) = (4, 5)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "[(-2 + 4)/2 , (9 + 5)/2] = Midpoints [(2/2), (14,2)] = (1, 7) as the midpoint. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
