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.

Explanation:

planation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

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

The mid - point is $(5,3.5)$
