@SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take the average in each coordinate i.e add them up, divide by two

OpenStudy (shamallamadingdong):

so i would add all the a together ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is \((a,a)\) and \((3a, a)\) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first coordinate of the midpoint will be \(\frac{a+3a}{2}\) that is not the final form of course

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got that?

OpenStudy (shamallamadingdong):

kinda

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you get for \[\huge \frac{a+3a}{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if it is not clear, let me know and i can show you

OpenStudy (shamallamadingdong):

could i use the midpoint formula on this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of course, but the midpoint formula tells you to add up and divide by 2

OpenStudy (shamallamadingdong):

and you would get 2a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes you would so the first coordinate of the midpoint is \(2a\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second coordinate will be \(\frac{a+a}{2}\)

OpenStudy (shamallamadingdong):

witch would be 1a or a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so final answer is ?

OpenStudy (shamallamadingdong):

2a,a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (shamallamadingdong):

Thanks a ton

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and that is all, except i would love to know where this problem came from, there is a big mistake in iti

OpenStudy (shamallamadingdong):

GradPoint

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure what that is do you see how E is \((a,a)\) and F is \((3a,a)\) in the bottom?

OpenStudy (shamallamadingdong):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that means the second coordinates are the same, they are both \(a\) but in the picture the second coordinates are different since F is LOWER than E

OpenStudy (shamallamadingdong):

and grad point is an online school where you can take full courses or you can use it to get credit recovery

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bad picture really bad goes right in the "bad math" pile

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah on line school, questions always seem to have problems not your fault though, ignore it

OpenStudy (shamallamadingdong):

lol there are lots more questions like this one so might see ya soon :\

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk
