Question
Could anyone give me any idea on how t o answer this? Thanks
1.A classmate tells you, “Finding the coordinates of a midpoint is easy. You just find the averages.” Is there any truth to it? Explain what you think your classmate means.
- I think what he meant by saying "finding the averages" is finding the average distance between the endpoints to the midpoint?

midpoint formula for any two points (a,b) and (c,d) = ((a+b)/2 , (c+d)/2)
Isn't the sum of two numbers , then divided by 2 the same as "averaging two numbers"
So to find the midpoint, you are indeed just taking the average of the x values, and the average of the y values.
