Basic Math Examples

(1, 5)

$(1, 5)$ ,

(5, 9)

$(5, 9)$

Step 1

Use the midpoint formula to find the midpoint of the line segment.

(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2})

$(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2})$

Step 2

Substitute in the values for

(x_{1}, y_{1})

$(x_{1}, y_{1})$ and

(x_{2}, y_{2})

$(x_{2}, y_{2})$ .

(\frac{1 + 5}{2}, \frac{5 + 9}{2})

$(\frac{1 + 5}{2}, \frac{5 + 9}{2})$

Step 3

Add

1

$1$ and

5

$5$ .

(\frac{6}{2}, \frac{5 + 9}{2})

$(\frac{6}{2}, \frac{5 + 9}{2})$

Step 4

Divide

6

$6$ by

2

$2$ .

(3, \frac{5 + 9}{2})

$(3, \frac{5 + 9}{2})$

Step 5

Add

5

$5$ and

9

$9$ .

(3, \frac{14}{2})

$(3, \frac{14}{2})$

Step 6

Divide

14

$14$ by

2

$2$ .

(3, 7)

$(3, 7)$
