Question 148525
Find the midpoint of the line segment PQ
P(2, 9), Q (5, 5)





{{{2+5=7}}} First add the x-coordinates together to get {{{7}}}



{{{(7)/2=7/2}}} Divide that result by 2



So the x-coordinate of the midpoint is {{{x=7/2}}}



{{{9+5=14}}} Now add the y-coordinates together to get {{{14}}}



{{{(14)/2=7}}} Divide that result by 2



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



So the midpoint between the points *[Tex \LARGE \left(2,9\right)] and *[Tex \LARGE \left(5,5\right)] is *[Tex \LARGE \left(\frac{7}{2},7\right)]
