Question

determine the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment A(-1, 3) and B( 5,7)

Answer 1

Answer:

( 2, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

( $x_{1}$ , $y_{1}$ )

( $x_{2}$ , $y_{2}$ )

Coordinates of midpoint of the line segment: ( $\frac{x_{1} +x_{2} }{2}$ , $\frac{y_{1} +y_{2} }{2}$ )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A( - 1, 3 )

B( 5, 7 )

the coordinates of the midpoint:

( $\frac{-1+5}{2}$ , $\frac{3+7}{2}$ ) = ( 2, 5 )
