I need help what am I doing wrong

anonymous · Answer

Calculations 
(x,y)=(x1+x22,y1+y22)
(x,y)= (1+-3/2, 5-7/2) = -2/2, -2/2
-2/2 error 
-2/2 error

anonymous · Answer

use this to find mid point..
($$(\frac{ x2-x1 }{ 2 } ,\frac{ y2-y1 }{ 2} )$$

triciaal · Answer

mid-point formula 
for points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
mid point is (x1 + x2)/2   and (y1 +y2)/2   positive units

Ohh ok I see what I did wrong

anonymous · Answer

its ans is (-1,6)

anonymous · Answer

but yes, just use the midpoint formula, it is easier

anonymous · Answer

right :) Thanks Guys :)

triciaal · Answer

using one of the given coordinates  add the number of units of get to the mid- point
