Find the Midpoint

$(1, 2)$ , $(3, 9)$

Step 1

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

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

Step 2

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

$(\frac{1 + 3}{2}, \frac{2 + 9}{2})$

Step 3

Add $1$ and $3$ .

$(\frac{4}{2}, \frac{2 + 9}{2})$

Step 4

Divide $4$ by $2$ .

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

Step 5

Add $2$ and $9$ .

$(2, \frac{11}{2})$
