Given Parameters;
Coordinates = (-8,6), (5,-7)
x₁ = -8 y₁ = 6
x₂ = 5 y₂ = -7
Unknown:
The midpoint of the line = ?
Solution:
The midpoint of any two points is given as;
x[tex]_{m}[/tex] , y[tex]_{m}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{y_{1} + y_{2} }{2}[/tex]
Input the parameters and solve;
x[tex]_{m}[/tex] , y[tex]_{m}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-8 + 5}{2}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{6 + (-7)}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{-3}{2}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]
The midpoint between the two points are [tex]\frac{-3}{2}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]
