question
find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints.
(6,7) and (1,4)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

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

Step2: Identify values of $x_1,y_1,x_2,y_2$

Here $x_1 = 6,y_1 = 7,x_2 = 1,y_2 = 4$.

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

$x=\frac{6 + 1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}=3.5$.

Step4: Calculate the y - coordinate of the mid - point

$y=\frac{7+4}{2}=\frac{11}{2}=5.5$.

Answer:

$(3.5,5.5)$
