Question

Find the mid point of line joining the points ( 5, 3) and (-9, 7).​

Answer 1

Answer:

midpoint = (5-9/2,3+7/2)=(-2,5)

Answer 2

Answer:

x=-2, y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A=(5, 3), (x1, y1)

and B=(-9, 7), (x2, y2)

Let P be the required mid point.

P(x, y)

For x,

→x=(x1+x2)/2

=[(5)+(-9)]/2

=(5-9)/2

=(-4)/2

=-2

For y,

→y=(y1+y2)/2

=(3+7)/2

=(10)/2

=5

Therefore, P(x, y)= (-2, 5).
