find the midpoint of a segment that has endpoints (3,8) and (-1,0)

Question

Describe in words how you would find the midpoint of a segment that has endpoints (3,8) and (-1,0).

Answer 1

Given points say (x1,y1) = (3,8)

(x2,y2) = (-1,0)

Midpoint of the points = [(3-1)/2, (8+0)/2]

= (1,4)

Midpoint is (1,4).
