How do you find the midpoint of (2,6) (-1,1)?

Answer 1

To find the midpoint of two points, you can use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula states that the coordinates of the midpoint between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) can be found by taking the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates.

Using the midpoint formula, the midpoint between (2,6) and (-1,1) can be calculated as follows:

Midpoint x-coordinate = (x₁ + x₂) / 2 = (2 + (-1)) / 2 = 1/2 Midpoint y-coordinate = (y₁ + y₂) / 2 = (6 + 1) / 2 = 7/2

Therefore, the midpoint of (2,6) and (-1,1) is (1/2, 7/2).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
