Find the Midpoint (17,1) , (-9,3)

$(17, 1)$ , $(- 9, 3)$

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

$(\frac{17 - 9}{2}, \frac{1 + 3}{2})$

Step 3

Subtract $9$ from $17$ .

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

Step 4

Divide $8$ by $2$ .

$(4, \frac{1 + 3}{2})$

Step 5

Add $1$ and $3$ .

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

Step 6

Divide $4$ by $2$ .

$(4, 2)$
