Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points A(-5,4) and B(7,-8)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know,the midpoint of line segment joining A(a,b) and B(c,d) will be

M(a+c/2,b+d/2)

Following this,

Let the midpoint of the line segment be M(x,y)

So,x=(-5+7)/2=2/2=1

and,

y=(4-8)/2=-4/2=-2

Hence,M(1,-2) is the required midpoint of the line segment joining A and B
