Question

find the midpoint of points a(3, 4) and b(7, 1) graphically. plot the line segment ab by clicking twice on the graph. start over

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

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

Step2: Substitute values

Here $x_1 = 3,y_1 = 4,x_2 = 7,y_2 = 1$. So, $\frac{3+7}{2}=\frac{10}{2}=5$ and $\frac{4 + 1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}=2.5$.

Answer:

$(5,2.5)$
