midpoint

(7,9) and (1,5)

1 answer

To find the midpoint between the two points \((7, 9)\) and \((1, 5)\), you can use the midpoint formula:

\[ \text{Midpoint} = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right) \]

Where \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) are the coordinates of the two points.

In this case:

  • \(x_1 = 7\), \(y_1 = 9\)
  • \(x_2 = 1\), \(y_2 = 5\)

Now plug the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Midpoint} = \left( \frac{7 + 1}{2}, \frac{9 + 5}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{8}{2}, \frac{14}{2} \right) = (4, 7) \]

So the midpoint is \((4, 7)\).
