You can put this solution on YOUR website! find the coordinates of the point C,
halfway between the points A(5,1) and B(-2,7).
------
Find the midpoints of x and y separately by getting the averages.
for x: (5-2)/2 = 3/2
for y: (1+7)/2 = 4
C is (3/2,4)
Answer by scott8148(6628)  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the midpoint of two sets of coordinates (points) is halfway between the two x-coordinates and halfway between the two y-coordinates
taking the average of the x's and the average of the y's will give you the midpoint
midpoint (M) is [(5-2)/2 , (1+7)/2) ___ M(1.5, 4)
