Given Coordinates: x1 = 3 y1 = 5, x2 = 4 y2 = -2
Midpoint Formula: midpoint = (
Substitute the given coordinates into the Midpoint Formula and Simplify:midpoint = (
Therefore, (3.5, 1.5) is the midpoint of the points (3, 5) and (4, -2)
Midpoint Formula: midpoint = (
x1 + x2/2
, y1 + y2/2
)Substitute the given coordinates into the Midpoint Formula and Simplify:midpoint = (
3 + 4/2
, 5 + (-2)/2
)midpoint = ( 3 + 4/2
, 5 − 2/2
)midpoint = ( 7/2
, 3/2
)midpoint = (3.5, 1.5)Therefore, (3.5, 1.5) is the midpoint of the points (3, 5) and (4, -2)
