HEEEEEELLLLLPPPP!----find the coordinates of midpoint AB where A is ( a,b ) and B is ( b,c ) write the answer in simplest form.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What are the x coordinates of the two ordered pairs?

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

a and b

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Add them together

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

a+b

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Divide that answer by 2

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

a+b/2

OpenStudy (mertsj):

(a+b)/2

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What are the y coordinates of the two ordered pairs?

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

b and c

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Add them together

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

b+c

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Divide that answer by 2

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

(b+c)/2

OpenStudy (mertsj):

And there you have it: \[(\frac{a+b}{2},\frac{b+c}{2})\]

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

thats it?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

That's the midpoint. Is that what you wanted?

OpenStudy (96mertcank96):

yes thank you very much helpful like always
