Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the point p1 and p2. p1=(4,1) p2=(-2,2)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The midpoint of the segment joining points P1(x1, y1) and P2(x2, y2) is: M( ( x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2 )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2/3 would be your midpoint.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

@love_jessika15 The midpoint of a segment is a point with an x-coordinate and a y-coordinate. You only have one value which is meaningless.

Hmm

OOPS

I see what I did wrong!!! omg i thought i was doing something else

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

If the something else was slope, it should have been (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
