You can put this solution on YOUR website! remember midpoint formula, x = (x1+x2) /2,,,,,y = (y1 +y2) /2
.
use 4,5,6 to remember, while we can do (6-4) /2 =1, and 4+1 =5,,,
it also works if we do 4 +6 =10 /2 =5
.
in this case,,x = { 5 +(-3) } /2 = +1
.
y = { 2 + 8 } /2 = + 5
.
Check,,,
.
1+4 =5, 1-4 = -3,,,,,ok
.
5+3 =8,,5-3 = 2 ,,,,,,ok
