unit 1 exam review
find the coordinate of the midpoint of $overline{ab}$ if a(-3,5) and b(4,2).
** enter you answer in fractional form. no spaces
** dont for get the parentheses for the coordinate.
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 $x_1=-3,y_1 = 5,x_2=4,y_2 = 2$.

Step2: Calculate x - coordinate of mid - point

$x=\frac{-3 + 4}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$

Step3: Calculate y - coordinate of mid - point

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

Answer:

$(\frac{1}{2},\frac{7}{2})$
