A is the point with coordinates (2,7) and B is the point with coordinates (8,10). Find the coordinates of the midpoint of AB.

1 - Draw a sketch graph of where the points would be to help visualise the midpoint. 2 - Work out the midpoint for each axis. For example, for x, it would be (0.5*(2+8)) = 5 and for y, it would be (0.5*(7+10)) = 8.5. Another method would be to subtract the x/y coordinates, divide by 2 and add value to first x/y. For example, for x, it would be ((8-2)/2)+2=5 and for y, it would be ((10-7)/2)+7=8.5. 3 - Final answer is (5,8.5)
