Answer:
(10.5, 5.5)
Explanation:
There is a formula for calculating the midpoint of two points.
[tex](\frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )[/tex]
How do we plug the two points into this formula?
(9, 6), (12,5)
9 is x1
6 is y1
12 is x2
5 is y2
This means, when we plug these numbers into the formula... it looks like this:
[tex](\frac{9 + 12}{2} , \frac{6 + 5}{2} )[/tex]
When we evaluate the new X coordinate of our midpoint:
(9 + 12) / 2 = 10.5
And when we evaluate the new Y coordinate of our midpoint:
(6 + 5) / 2 = 5.5
The final answer is (10.5, 5.5)
