Question

anonymous · Answer

Just find the average value between the points.  Do you know how to do that?

anonymous · Answer

no i dont :(

anonymous · Answer

Given two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$, the average point is given as follows.$$\left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)$$  This is the same as finding the average $x$-coordiante and the average $y$-coordinate if you prefer to think of it that way.

ooo

anonymous · Answer

so it would be x2+x1? I thought it would be like x1+y1 and the other one would be x2+y2

anonymous · Answer

It is $x_2+x_1$.  Treat each of the axes separately.
