Question

arlen · Answer

(x1+x2)/2 and (y1+y2)/2

anonymous · Answer

mid = half = total/2
What do you think?

arlen · Answer

@Mira_white  isn't it a mean?

arlen · Answer

$$\frac{ x1+x2 }{ 2 }  and \frac{ y1+y2 }{ 2 }$$

arlen · Answer

where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are two end point coordinates

anonymous · Answer

So if mid is half and she says that its just finding averages then she is wrong? She means to say what though? I don't understand what she might have meant.

anonymous · Answer

Should you look up the meaning of average ?

arlen · Answer

she is absolutely right...

arlen · Answer

average means total sum divided by number of elements
