TU has endpoints at T(13, 16) and U(2, 6). Find the midpoint M of TU.
Write the coordinates as decimals or integers.
To find the midpoint, we can use the midpoint formula:
Midpoint M = ( (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2 )
Let's calculate the coordinates of the midpoint M:
x1 = 13, x2 = 2
y1 = 16, y2 = 6
Midpoint M = ( (13 + 2)/2 , (16 + 6)/2 )
= ( 15/2 , 22/2 )
= ( 7.5 , 11 )
Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint M of TU are (7.5, 11).
