Answer 6

yikes, sorry it's been a while since I've dealt with midpoints. @Englishguy is the genius :p also ask maybe @CyberShadow he thinks hes pretty smart

Answer 7

Lol thanks

Answer 8

\[x=\frac{ x _{1}+x _{2} }{ 2 },y=\frac{ y _{1}+y _{2} }{ 2 }\]

Answer 9

Note that you could sketch this situation yourself, and perhaps even estimate the midpoint from eyeballing y our sketch. Or, to do this problem analytically, use surjithayer's suggested midpoint formulas (which are correct). Pls show your work.

Answer 11

What is your question?

Answer 12

So, you're not planning to sketch this situation, or to apply the midpoint formulas given you by surjithayer?

Answer 13

At the top @okdutchman7

Answer 14

u should apply those coordination on a graph

Answer 15

Use the formula @surjithayer gave you

FFASinger: You are, of course, free to ignore my advice and guidance in regard to solving the problem you've posted, if you wish. But have you stopped to consider how much time you are losing through your apparent wait for someone else to do your work for you?

Again, here are the midpoint formulas:\[x=\frac{ x _{1}+x _{2} }{ 2 },~~y=\frac{ y _{1}+y _{2} }{ 2 }\]

If you don't know how to use them, then please ask questions.

Answer 19

B is the correct answer

Answer 20

@innocentkyara please don't give dorect answers right away

Answer 21

X=(3.2+1.6)/2 and Y=(2.5+-4.5)/2
Then
(X,Y)=(2.4,-1)
Then (x,y)=B
