Question

question 1 directions: find the midpoint of the line - segment with the given end - points. the word or phrase next to the correct response will complete the statement. (2,5) and (8,7) mia hamm was born in selma, ______.

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 \(x_1=2,y_1 = 5,x_2=8,y_2 = 7\).

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

\(x=\frac{2 + 8}{2}=\frac{10}{2}=5\).

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

\(y=\frac{5+7}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6\).

Answer:

\((5,6)\)
