Find the midpoint coordinate of the coordinate of the points M (10, 8) and N (7, 12).
Select one:
7, 5½
17½, 5
8.5, 10
17, 5½
8.5, 10
To find the midpoint coordinate, we need to find the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates.
The x-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the x-coordinates of M(10, 8) and N(7, 12):
(10 + 7) / 2 = 17 / 2 = 8.5
The y-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the y-coordinates of M(10, 8) and N(7, 12):
(8 + 12) / 2 = 20 / 2 = 10
Therefore, the midpoint coordinate is (8.5, 10).
