Find the Midpoint (8,1) and (5,7)

$(8, 1)$ and $(5, 7)$

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

$(\frac{8 + 5}{2}, \frac{1 + 7}{2})$

Step 3

Add $8$ and $5$ .

$(\frac{13}{2}, \frac{1 + 7}{2})$

Step 4

Add $1$ and $7$ .

$(\frac{13}{2}, \frac{8}{2})$

Step 5

Divide $8$ by $2$ .

$(\frac{13}{2}, 4)$
