Find the Midpoint (6,4) , (8,2)

$(6, 4)$ , $(8, 2)$

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

$(\frac{6 + 8}{2}, \frac{4 + 2}{2})$

Step 3

Cancel the common factor of $6 + 8$ and $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $6$ .

$(\frac{2 \cdot 3 + 8}{2}, \frac{4 + 2}{2})$

Factor $2$ out of $8$ .

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

Factor $2$ out of $2 \cdot 3 + 2 \cdot 4$ .

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

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $2$ .

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

Cancel the common factor.

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

Rewrite the expression.

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

Divide $3 + 4$ by $1$ .

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

Step 4

Add $3$ and $4$ .

$(7, \frac{4 + 2}{2})$

Step 5

Cancel the common factor of $4 + 2$ and $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $4$ .

$(7, \frac{2 \cdot 2 + 2}{2})$

Factor $2$ out of $2$ .

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

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

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

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $2$ .

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

Cancel the common factor.

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

Rewrite the expression.

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

Divide $2 + 1$ by $1$ .

$(7, 2 + 1)$

Step 6

Add $2$ and $1$ .

$(7, 3)$

Step 7

Find the Midpoint (6,4) , (8,2)
