Question

Find the midpoint of the line joining these pairs of points
[ 1,4 ] and [ 9,12 ]

Answer 1

★ Solution

» Given :-

Two points ( 1 , 4) and ( 9, 12)

» To find :-

Midpoint of the line where these points are the pairs.

➻ Formula

$\longrightarrow \: midpoint = ( \frac{x1 + x₂}{2} ； \: \frac{y1 + y₂}{2} )$

Where here ,

x 1 = 1

x₂ = 9

y1 = 4

y₂ = 12

By substituting the values we get ,

$midpoint = ( \frac{1 + 9}{2} ； \frac{4 + 12}{2} )$

$= ( \frac{10}{2} ； \frac{16}{2} )$

$= (5；8)$

$\therefore \: midpoint \: = (5；8)$
