Find the Midpoint (8,9) and (4,3)

$(8, 9)$ and $(4, 3)$

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

$(\frac{8 + 4}{2}, \frac{9 + 3}{2})$

Step 3

Cancel the common factor of $8 + 4$ and $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $8$ .

$(\frac{2 \cdot 4 + 4}{2}, \frac{9 + 3}{2})$

Factor $2$ out of $4$ .

$(\frac{2 \cdot 4 + 2 \cdot 2}{2}, \frac{9 + 3}{2})$

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

$(\frac{2 \cdot (4 + 2)}{2}, \frac{9 + 3}{2})$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $2$ .

$(\frac{2 \cdot (4 + 2)}{2 (1)}, \frac{9 + 3}{2})$

Cancel the common factor.

$(\frac{2 \cdot (4 + 2)}{2 \cdot 1}, \frac{9 + 3}{2})$

Rewrite the expression.

$(\frac{4 + 2}{1}, \frac{9 + 3}{2})$

Divide $4 + 2$ by $1$ .

$(4 + 2, \frac{9 + 3}{2})$

Step 4

Add $4$ and $2$ .

$(6, \frac{9 + 3}{2})$

Step 5

Add $9$ and $3$ .

$(6, \frac{12}{2})$

Step 6

Divide $12$ by $2$ .

$(6, 6)$
