Math help?
point a is located at (1, 5) and D is located at (3, 7). find the coordinate of the point that lies half way between A and D.
The midpoint on a line connecting 2 points , is just the sum of the coordinates divided by 2
(x1+x2)/2 and (y1+y2)/2
Ok give me one minute to solve :)
Ill do the X real fast, you do the Y... midpoint of the x coordinate (1 + 3) / 2 = 4/2 = 2
Midpoint so far (2, y)
5=7=12/2=6 Sooo, (2, 6)
you have the point right, all those = signs are not though
i know you meant +
(5+7)/2 = 12/2 = 6
yeah haha opps
yes
\[midpoint = (\frac{ x1+x2 }{ 2 } ~,~\frac{ y1+y2 }{ 2 })\]
We only have one coordinate though, do I use the original ones?
@DanJS
That is the midpoint formula , given 2 points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
sorry I see now haha my answer choices arent that though.
I have (-3, 4) (-1, 6) (1, 6) And (3, 4)
the average of the x coordinates, and average of the y coordinates
so would it be 1,6?
can you type the original 2 points out again please
A is located at (1, 5), and D is located at (−3, 7)
oh, it is a -3, you had it as +3 originaly
yeah, sorry haha
\[midpoint = (\frac{ 1+(-3) }{ 2 }, \frac{ 5+7 }{ 2 })\]
(-2/2 , 12/2) (-1 , 6)
