Given Coordinates: x1 = 7 y1 = 3, x2 = -5 y2 = 5
Midpoint Formula: midpoint = (
Substitute the given coordinates into the Midpoint Formula and Simplify:midpoint = (
Therefore, (1, 4) is the midpoint of the points (7, 3) and (-5, 5)
Midpoint Formula: midpoint = (
x1 + x2/2
, y1 + y2/2
)Substitute the given coordinates into the Midpoint Formula and Simplify:midpoint = (
7 + (-5)/2
, 3 + 5/2
)midpoint = ( 7 − 5/2
, 3 + 5/2
)midpoint = ( 2/2
, 8/2
)midpoint = (1, 4)Therefore, (1, 4) is the midpoint of the points (7, 3) and (-5, 5)
