Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with end points (9,8) and (3,5)

Answer 1

Midpoint Formula -

Midpoint co-ordinates. $\left(x_{m},y_{m}\right) = \left(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2}\right)$

i.e $x_{m} = \left(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}\right) \& y_{m} = \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2}$

$$\mathrm {X m} = 9 + 2 / 2 = 6$$ $$\mathrm {Y m} = 8 + 5 / 2 = 6$$ $$\operatorname {M i d p o i n t} = (6, 6);$$
