Question

find the midpoint of points a(3, 6) and b(7, -4) graphically. plot the line segment ab by clicking twice on the graph. start over answer attempt 1 out of 2 you must answer all questions above in order to submit

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

The mid - point formula for two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$.

Step2: Identify coordinates

Here $x_1=3,y_1 = 6,x_2=7,y_2=-4$.

Step3: Calculate x - coordinate of mid - point

$x=\frac{3 + 7}{2}=\frac{10}{2}=5$.

Step4: Calculate y - coordinate of mid - point

$y=\frac{6+( - 4)}{2}=\frac{6 - 4}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1$.

Answer:

$(5,1)$
