In a coordinate system, points A(-2, 3) and B(6, -1) have a midpoint of X. What is the midpoint between A and X?

Question

anonymous · Answer

coordinates are written as (x,y). first find the mid point in x axis- (-2 and 6)  ((6)+(-2))/2=2.... then they y coordinates ((3)+(-1))/2=1 so the answer is  (2,1)

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\
A&(-2\quad ,&3)\quad B&(6\quad ,&-1)
\end{array}
\\quad \
\text{middle point of 2 points }\
X=\left(\cfrac{x_2 + x_1}{2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{y_2 + y_1}{2} \right)
