M is the midpoint of AB. If the coordinates of point A are (7,4) and the coordinates of B are (1,2), what are the cooridnates of M?

M(4, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

( , )

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = A(7, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(1, 2) , thus

M  = (, ) = ( , ) = (4, 3 )

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
