Answer 1

Given,

The coordinates of the endpoints of the given line segment are = (6,17) and (9,16)

To find,

The co-ordinate midpoint of the given line segment.

Solution,

We can easily solve this mathematical problem by the following process.

Point 1 = (6,17) = X1,Y1

Point 2 = (9,16) = X2,Y2

Formula = (X1+X2)/2 , (Y1+Y2)/2

coordinates of the midpoint of the given line segment

= (6+9)/2 , (17+16)/2

= 15/2 , 33/2

= (7.5 , 16.5)

[This is the coordinates of the point which bisects the given line segment.]

Hence, the midpoint of the line segment is (7.5,16.5)

Answer 2

Answer:

x1+x2/2 , y1+y2/2

6+9/2 , 17+16/2

15/2 , 33/2

The right answer
