Find the Midpoint (1,10) , (3,8)

$(1, 10)$ , $(3, 8)$

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

$(\frac{1 + 3}{2}, \frac{10 + 8}{2})$

Step 3

Add $1$ and $3$ .

$(\frac{4}{2}, \frac{10 + 8}{2})$

Step 4

Divide $4$ by $2$ .

$(2, \frac{10 + 8}{2})$

Step 5

Cancel the common factor of $10 + 8$ and $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $10$ .

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

Factor $2$ out of $8$ .

$(2, \frac{2 \cdot 5 + 2 \cdot 4}{2})$

Factor $2$ out of $2 \cdot 5 + 2 \cdot 4$ .

$(2, \frac{2 \cdot (5 + 4)}{2})$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $2$ .

$(2, \frac{2 \cdot (5 + 4)}{2 (1)})$

Cancel the common factor.

$(2, \frac{2 \cdot (5 + 4)}{2 \cdot 1})$

Rewrite the expression.

$(2, \frac{5 + 4}{1})$

Divide $5 + 4$ by $1$ .

$(2, 5 + 4)$

Step 6

Add $5$ and $4$ .

$(2, 9)$
