# How do you find the midpoint of the line segment joining N(2,0), P(5,2)?

Jul 27, 2016

The midpoit is M=(7/2;1)

#### Explanation:

Tocalculate midpoint of a line segment you add coordinates of both ends and divide the sum by $2$:

${x}_{M} = \frac{{x}_{N} + {x}_{P}}{2} = \frac{2 + 5}{2} = \frac{7}{2}$

${y}_{M} = \frac{{y}_{N} + {y}_{P}}{2} = \frac{0 + 2}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1$
