Math Problem Statement

510100 find the midpoint between A(2,3) B (418)

Solution

To find the midpoint between two points A(2,3)A(2, 3) and B(4,8)B(4, 8), we use the midpoint formula:

Midpoint=(x1+x22,y1+y22)\text{Midpoint} = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right)

Where (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) are the coordinates of the two points.

Substituting the values from the points A(2,3)A(2, 3) and B(4,8)B(4, 8):

Midpoint=(2+42,3+82)\text{Midpoint} = \left( \frac{2 + 4}{2}, \frac{3 + 8}{2} \right)

Midpoint=(62,112)\text{Midpoint} = \left( \frac{6}{2}, \frac{11}{2} \right)

Midpoint=(3,5.5)\text{Midpoint} = (3, 5.5)

So, the midpoint between points A(2,3)A(2, 3) and B(4,8)B(4, 8) is (3,5.5)(3, 5.5).
