Question

find the midpoint between (2, 7) and (3, 8).

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

The mid - point formula between 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 $x_1=2,y_1 = 7,x_2=3,y_2 = 8$.

Step2: Calculate the x - coordinate of the mid - point

$x=\frac{2 + 3}{2}=\frac{5}{2}=2.5$.

Step3: Calculate the y - coordinate of the mid - point

$y=\frac{7+8}{2}=\frac{15}{2}=7.5$.

Answer:

$(2.5,7.5)$
