Answer to Question #144832 in Geometry for Yvonne

Question

how do we find the midpoint of a segment on a number line?

Answer 1

Add x-coordinates and divide by 2 to get the x-coordinate of the midpoint.

Add y-coordinates and divide by 2 to get the y-coordinate of the midpoint.

That is:

Midpoint (x_o,y_o)= (((x₁ + x₂)/2) , ((y₁ + y₂)/2)))
