Question

Can someone show me how to figure this out?

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are given.

A (2, 3) and B (6, 11)

Answer 1

take the average in each coordinate, aka add them up, divide by 2

Answer 2

so 5 and 17 divide them by 2?

Answer 3

\[\left(\frac{2+6}{2},\frac{3+11}{2}\right)\] is the first step

Answer 4

Oh okay I see. Now what?

Answer 5

compute
what is \(\frac{2+6}{2}\) ?

Answer 6

\[\frac{ 8 }{ 2 }\]

Answer 7

ok, what is eight divided by two?

Answer 8

4

Answer 9

sorry, forgot to simplify

Answer 10

right, so first coordinate is 4

Answer 11

how about the second coordinate?

Answer 12

=7

Answer 13

right
so midpoint is \((4,7)\)

Answer 14

Ahh. Thank you so much!
