Given Coordinates: x1 = 5 y1 = 13, x2 = -3 y2 = 1
Midpoint Formula: midpoint = (
Substitute the given coordinates into the Midpoint Formula and Simplify:midpoint = (
Therefore, (1, 7) is the midpoint of the points (5, 13) and (-3, 1)
Midpoint Formula: midpoint = (
x1 + x2/2
, y1 + y2/2
)Substitute the given coordinates into the Midpoint Formula and Simplify:midpoint = (
5 + (-3)/2
, 13 + 1/2
)midpoint = ( 5 − 3/2
, 13 + 1/2
)midpoint = ( 2/2
, 14/2
)midpoint = (1, 7)Therefore, (1, 7) is the midpoint of the points (5, 13) and (-3, 1)
