Derive Midpoint Formula

[nycmathguy]

Derive the midpoint formula for points on the xy-plane. Show steps along the way....

Thanks

Given two points A (x1, y1) and B (x2, y2), the midpoint between A and B is given by,

M(x3, y3) = [(x1+ x2)/2, (y1+ y2)/2)]

where, M is the midpoint between A and B, and (x3, y3) are its coordinates.

Very cool. Very nice.
