Find the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are (7, 5) and (7, 11). a.(0, 6) b.(7, 3) c.(7, 8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is half way between 5 and 11? aka the average ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats 7-7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@magan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

forget 7 - 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no dont forget

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its part of the answer

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

no^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is the average you are looking for the average of 7 and 7 is 7

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

They both have x as 7

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

x does not change

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look i got this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the two points lie on the same vertical line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol yah you got it wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i dont if u would let me explain

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

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

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

14 divided by 2 is 7, so it does not change

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c.(7, 8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok jerk there are other ways

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1419451675430:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no direct answers

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

I'm a jerk because I'm telling you the formula which contradicts your reasoning?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is my direct answer\[\frac{5+11}{2}=8\\(7,8)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no yall are saying im wrong before i even explained my way thats why

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Then explain ..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

forget it now yall already gave the answer

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

ok..but if you start with 7-7.. i'd assume your answer is a.(0, 6)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats why u explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but forget it now

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

ok. i just don't see where in hell you'd start with 7-7
