Question

1. find the midpoint between the points (5, 5) and (9, 2).

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 $x_1 = 5,y_1 = 5,x_2=9,y_2 = 2$.

Step2: Calculate x - coordinate of mid - point

$x=\frac{5 + 9}{2}=\frac{14}{2}=7$.

Step3: Calculate y - coordinate of mid - point

$y=\frac{5+2}{2}=\frac{7}{2}=3.5$.

Answer:

$(7,3.5)$
