Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment with the given endpoints. A(-9, 3), B(5, 7)

Answer 1

A(-9, 3), B(5, 7). C

A(-9, 3)__________c________B(5,7)

(x,y)

x1 = -9. y1 = 3

x2 = 5. y2= 7

let C(x,y) be mid point of A and B

x =( x1+x2)/2. y = (y1+y2)/2

x = ( -9+5)/2. y = ( 3+7)/2

x = -4/2. y = 10/2

x = -2. y = 5

mid point is C( -2 ,5 )
