Question

Find the midpoint between two points on a coordinate plane whose coordinates are (5, 7) and (-3, 1).

(2, 8)
(1, 4)
(8, 8)
(4, 4)

Answer 1

For this problem, just find the average of the x-values and the y-values.

For your answer, to find the x-coordinate:
\[x-value = \frac{ 5+ (-3) }{ 2 }\]

y-value:
\[y - value = \frac{ 7 + 1 }{ 2 }\]
