Question

question 1 find the midpoint of the segment with endpoint (5,2) and (-1,8)

Answer 1

(5+-1)/2 is the x-coordinate of the midpoint and (2+8)/2 is the y-coordinate of the midpoint

it's almost like averaging the points to fin d the midpoint ;)

Answer 2

but how i dont realy get it

Answer 3

miidpoint formula=((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2)

use that !

Answer 4

so thats the answere

Answer 5

(2, 5) is the midpoint

Answer 6

If you want the number between two other numbers, you have to essentially add the numbers together and divide the sum by 2.
Like, if you wanted the number between 3 and 5 (which is obviously 4), we could take 5 + 3 = 8 and then divide by 2 8/2 = 4.
(x1 + x2)/2 = the midpoint x-value
(y1 + y2)/2 similarly for the y-value.

If that makes some sense of the formula.
