Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (2, 7) and (12, −7).

Answer 1

Given points are
(2,7) = (x1, y1)
(12,-7) = (x2, y2)
mid point = (x1 + x2 /2 ,, y1+y2 / 2)
=》(2+12/2 ,7+(-7)/2)
=》(14/2 , 0/2)
=》(7, 0) is the midpoint
hope it helps :P

Answer 2

Answer:

(7,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that A and B are two different points on the coordinate plane with coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) respectively.

In that case, the coordinates of the mid point of the line segment AB will be $(\frac{x1+x2}{2}, \frac{y1+y2}{2})$.

Now, in this problem two points are given (2,7) and (12, -7).

Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment joining those two points will be $(\frac{2+12}{2} ,\frac{7-7}{2} )= (7,0)$ (Answer)
