Question 1085932
<font color="black" face="times" size="3">Let's define
P = (16,5)
Q = (28,-13)
as the two given points


Let M be the midpoint. We don't know the coordinates for M, so we'll make M = (x,y).


To find the x coordinate of M, we add up the x coordinates of P and Q, then divide by 2
x = (x coord of P + x coord of Q)/2
x = (16+28)/2
x = (44)/2
x = 22


Do the same for the y coordinates as well
y = (y coord of P + y coord of Q)/2
y = (5+(-13))/2
y = (5-13)/2
y = (-8)/2
y = -4


Because x = 22 and y = -4, this means the midpoint is M = (x,y) = <font color=red>(22, -4)</font>
