Answer to Question #144832 in Geometry for Yvonne

Question #144832

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

Expert's answer

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)))
