Finite Math Examples

$(1, 4)$ , $(8, - 7)$

Step 1

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

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

Step 2

Substitute in the values for $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ .

$(\frac{1 + 8}{2}, \frac{4 - 7}{2})$

Step 3

Add $1$ and $8$ .

$(\frac{9}{2}, \frac{4 - 7}{2})$

Step 4

Subtract $7$ from $4$ .

$(\frac{9}{2}, \frac{- 3}{2})$

Step 5

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$(\frac{9}{2}, - \frac{3}{2})$
