Answer:(1/2, 7) as decimal = (0.5, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:  (0.5, 7)

===================================================

Explanation:

The x coordinates are 3 and -2

  • Add them up: 3 + (-2) = 1
  • Divide the result in half:  1/2 = 0.5

The x coordinate of the midpoint is 0.5

--------------

The steps are the same idea for the y coordinates

  • Add: 8+6 = 14
  • Divide in half: 14/2 = 7

The y coordinate of the midpoint is 7

--------------

Overall, the midpoint is located at (0.5, 7)

You can confirm this by letting

A = (3,8)

B = (0.5, 7)

C = (-2,6)

Then use the distance formula to see that AB = BC
