Question 183191


To find the midpoint, first we need to find the individual coordinates of the midpoint.



<h4>X-Coordinate of the Midpoint:</h4>



To find the x-coordinate of the midpoint, simply average the two x-coordinates of the given points by adding them up and dividing that result by 2 like this:



{{{x[mid]=(5+-2)/2=3/2}}}



So the x-coordinate of the midpoint is {{{x=3/2}}}



-----------------------------------------------------



<h4>Y-Coordinate of the Midpoint:</h4>



To find the y-coordinate of the midpoint, simply average the two y-coordinates of the given points by adding them up and dividing that result by 2 like this:



{{{y[mid]=(1+7)/2=8/2=4}}}



So the y-coordinate of the midpoint is {{{y=4}}}



So the midpoint between the points *[Tex \LARGE \left(5,1\right)] and *[Tex \LARGE \left(-2,7\right)] is *[Tex \LARGE \left(\frac{3}{2},4\right)]
