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




2%2B5=7 First add the x-coordinates together to get 7


%287%29%2F2=7%2F2 Divide that result by 2


So the x-coordinate of the midpoint is x=7%2F2


9%2B5=14 Now add the y-coordinates together to get 14


%2814%29%2F2=7 Divide that result by 2


So the y-coordinate of the midpoint is y=7


So the midpoint between the points and is
