Answer 3

Do you know the midpoint formula?

Answer 4

i just need the anwser and no i dont

Answer 5

Add the x values and divide by 2, add the y values and divide by 2. That will give you the midpoint.

Answer 6

(2,1/2)

Answer 7

whats that?

Answer 8

use your way jade

Answer 9

find the average of the two x values
and ditto for the y values
they will be the (x,y) coords of the mid-point

Answer 10

Actually, that is the way, I didn't understand how the person worded it
\[(\frac{ x _{1}+x _{2} }{ 2 } , \frac{ y _{1} + y _{2}}{ 2 })\]

Answer 11

oh ok

Answer 12

Answer 13

Then you solve from there, so @luffingsails did have it correct :)

Answer 14

When some one says, "I just need the answer" it didn't seem to make sense to add anything but the answer.

Answer 15

ya i know

Answer 16

but instead they tell me what to do

Answer 17

Yeah, because you can get people in trouble when you ask for direct answers. It's against the Code of Conduct for Openstudy. Rather than giving the direct answer for your question, we have to help you find the answer. Hence the "Openstudy" no "Openanswer"

Answer 18

oh lol i was wondering why'd luff put this 1/2 better to put 0.5 lol

Answer 19

well they should change the could

Answer 20

Or, perhaps, a hint of advice, change your attitude about the code. If you don't like the way it's done on Openstudy, maybe you shouldn't use it :)
