Find the Midpoint (2,3) , (6,11)

$(2, 3)$ , $(6, 11)$

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

$(\frac{2 + 6}{2}, \frac{3 + 11}{2})$

Step 3

Cancel the common factor of $2 + 6$ and $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $2$ .

$(\frac{2 \cdot 1 + 6}{2}, \frac{3 + 11}{2})$

Factor $2$ out of $6$ .

$(\frac{2 \cdot 1 + 2 \cdot 3}{2}, \frac{3 + 11}{2})$

Factor $2$ out of $2 \cdot 1 + 2 \cdot 3$ .

$(\frac{2 \cdot (1 + 3)}{2}, \frac{3 + 11}{2})$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $2$ .

$(\frac{2 \cdot (1 + 3)}{2 (1)}, \frac{3 + 11}{2})$

Cancel the common factor.

$(\frac{2 \cdot (1 + 3)}{2 \cdot 1}, \frac{3 + 11}{2})$

Rewrite the expression.

$(\frac{1 + 3}{1}, \frac{3 + 11}{2})$

Divide $1 + 3$ by $1$ .

$(1 + 3, \frac{3 + 11}{2})$

Step 4

Add $1$ and $3$ .

$(4, \frac{3 + 11}{2})$

Step 5

Add $3$ and $11$ .

$(4, \frac{14}{2})$

Step 6

Divide $14$ by $2$ .

$(4, 7)$
