so (1, 5) would be the midpoint of the segment???
2006-12-31 07:56:06 · update #1
I would find the mean (arithmetic average) of the x-coordinates and the mean of the y-coordinates.
(midpt of x's, midpt of y's) = [(5 + -3)/2 , (8 + 2)/2]
= (2/2 , 10/2)
= (1, 5)

Yes you are correct! (1, 5) would be the coordinate of the midpoint of the segment that joins the two points.
You find it by figuring out the middle of the x coordinate. Do this by taking 5 and -3 and getting an average of them. (5 + -3)/2 = 1.
Now repeat for the middle y coordinate. Do this by taking 2 and 8 and getting an average. (2 + 8)/2 = 5.
So the midpoint is (1, 5).

purely take the standard of each and every coordinate of the endpoints So the x coordinate is the standard of 6 and four, or 5 The y coordinate is the standard of five and nil, or 2.5 So the midpoint is (5, 2.5) i wish this enables

Average the coordinates of the endpoints.
( (5-3)/2, (2+8)/2 )

Midpoint formula:
((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2)
((5-3)/2,(8+2)/2)
(2/2,10/2)
(1,5)

( (5-3)/2, (2+8)/2 )...=(1,5)
this is the way!!!!
