## anonymous one year ago Find the midpoint between two points on a coordinate plane whose coordinates are (5, 7) and (-3, 1). (2, 8) (1, 4) (8, 8) (4, 4)

For this problem, just find the average of the x-values and the y-values. For your answer, to find the x-coordinate: $x-value = \frac{ 5+ (-3) }{ 2 }$ y-value: $y - value = \frac{ 7 + 1 }{ 2 }$

a

the midpoint is have the distance between the 2 points separate the x and the y

Remember that you need to find the averages. Choice A is halfway there, but just divide the x- and y-coordinates by two to get the final answer.

$\frac{ 2 }{ 2 } = x-coordinate$ $\frac{ 8 }{ 2 } = y- coordinate$

$\frac{ 2 }{ 2 } = 1$ $\frac{ 8 }{ 2 } = 4$ Answer: $(1,4)$

You're welcome :) I hope you understood the concept.
