take the average in each coordinate i.e add them up, divide by two

so i would add all the a together ?

4. anonymous

it is $$(a,a)$$ and $$(3a, a)$$ right?

5. anonymous

first coordinate of the midpoint will be $$\frac{a+3a}{2}$$ that is not the final form of course

6. anonymous

you got that?

kinda

8. anonymous

what do you get for $\huge \frac{a+3a}{2}$

9. anonymous

if it is not clear, let me know and i can show you

could i use the midpoint formula on this?

11. anonymous

of course, but the midpoint formula tells you to add up and divide by 2

and you would get 2a

13. anonymous

yes you would so the first coordinate of the midpoint is $$2a$$

14. anonymous

the second coordinate will be $$\frac{a+a}{2}$$

witch would be 1a or a

16. anonymous

yes so final answer is ?

2a,a

18. anonymous

right

Thanks a ton

20. anonymous

and that is all, except i would love to know where this problem came from, there is a big mistake in iti

22. anonymous

not sure what that is do you see how E is $$(a,a)$$ and F is $$(3a,a)$$ in the bottom?

ya

24. anonymous

that means the second coordinates are the same, they are both $$a$$ but in the picture the second coordinates are different since F is LOWER than E

and grad point is an online school where you can take full courses or you can use it to get credit recovery

26. anonymous

bad picture really bad goes right in the "bad math" pile

27. anonymous

yeah on line school, questions always seem to have problems not your fault though, ignore it

lol there are lots more questions like this one so might see ya soon :\
