Given Coordinates: x1 = 7 y1 = 0, x2 = 5 y2 = -2
Midpoint Formula: midpoint = (
Substitute the given coordinates into the Midpoint Formula and Simplify:midpoint = (
Therefore, (6, -1) is the midpoint of the points (7, 0) and (5, -2)
Midpoint Formula: midpoint = (
x1 + x2/2
, y1 + y2/2
)Substitute the given coordinates into the Midpoint Formula and Simplify:midpoint = (
7 + 5/2
, 0 + (-2)/2
)midpoint = ( 7 + 5/2
, 0 − 2/2
)midpoint = ( 12/2
, -2/2
)midpoint = (6, -1)Therefore, (6, -1) is the midpoint of the points (7, 0) and (5, -2)
