Interactive practice questions

Which of the following formulae correctly describes the coordinates of the midpoint of the points $\left(x_1,y_1\right)$(x1,y1) and $\left(x_2,y_2\right)$(x2,y2)?

$\left(x_2+x_1,y_2+y_1\right)$(x2+x1,y2+y1)

A

$\left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\frac{y_1-y_2}{2}\right)$(x2+x12,y1y22)

B

$\left(\frac{x_1-x_2}{2},\frac{y_1-y_2}{2}\right)$(x1x22,y1y22)

C

$\left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)$(x2+x12,y2+y12)
