Question

find the midpoint of points a(8,10) and b(0,5) graphically. you may press submit or click the graph again to replot the 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 $x_1 = 8,y_1=10,x_2 = 0,y_2 = 5$.

Step2: Calculate x - coordinate of mid - point

$x=\frac{8 + 0}{2}=\frac{8}{2}=4$.

Step3: Calculate y - coordinate of mid - point

$y=\frac{10+5}{2}=\frac{15}{2}=7.5$.

Answer:

$(4,7.5)$
