anonymous · Answer

put the points into the slope formula
y2-y1/x2-x1

anonymous · Answer

oh no sorry the midpoint formula :)

anonymous · Answer

i kinda just want the anwer dont have time to work it out

austinl · Answer

$$Midpoint = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$$

anonymous · Answer

midpoint formula is (x1+x2/2,y1+y2/2)

dont be lazy come on :)

anonymous · Answer

im doing alot of work so i can finish my class today and get my deploma on friday

anonymous · Answer

x=6

anonymous · Answer

are you sure

anonymous · Answer

@austinL  if u then divide that by 2 u get 1, which is not the point

austinl · Answer

You are correct @groges.
Props. I forgot the divide by two.

anonymous · Answer

the x value is given to be 2, which means in the formula it is x-2/2 =2
x-2=4
x=6
