Question

find the midpoint of points a(3, 5) and b(7, 2) graphically. you may press submit or click the graph again to replot the midpoint. answer attempt 1 out of 2 midpoint: ( , )

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

The mid - point formula for two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$. Here, $x_1=3,y_1 = 5,x_2=7,y_2=2$.

Step2: Calculate x - coordinate of mid - point

$x=\frac{3 + 7}{2}=\frac{10}{2}=5$.

Step3: Calculate y - coordinate of mid - point

$y=\frac{5+2}{2}=\frac{7}{2}=3.5$.

Answer:

$(5,3.5)$
