OpenStudy (anonymous):

beware you are probly going to get reported ive been reported 5 times today

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:O

OpenStudy (trancenova):

Yup, sorry mate - you still have to work it out yourself, but there are lots of people on here who will jog you through it to find the answer :)

OpenStudy (trancenova):

Hmm apparently there is a formula for this :D All you have to do is find the "average" of the two points to find the middle. Here is the forumla: \[\frac{ (x1+x2) }{ 2 },\frac{ y1+y2 }{ 2 }\] You find the answer and I'll tell you if it is correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4,0?

OpenStudy (trancenova):

Not quite, the four is correct, maybe trying working out the y coordinate again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah thats wer i got confused

OpenStudy (trancenova):

Ooops! read it wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why?

OpenStudy (trancenova):

you are correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol kk ty

OpenStudy (trancenova):

(I read the wrong number :P)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to do this? ---> Find the midpoint of TS.. point T is (-6,2) Point S is (3,-4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you use the same formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

S0 -6+3 2-4? -3,-2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think your correct right @TranceNova

OpenStudy (trancenova):

sounds right, but brb.. sorry getting distracted

OpenStudy (anonymous):

K

OpenStudy (trancenova):

Anyway, sorry about that - the phone rang - that second one is actually wrong, forgot to divide by 2 (to "average" them).
