Question

if the end point of the segment AB are A(-5,4)& B(7,-8), then the coordinates of its mid point are

a) (1,-2). b) (2,-1)

c) (2,-3). d) (2,-2)​

Answer 1

Answer:

(1,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:- A(-5,4)

and B(7,-8)

so, x1 = -5 y1 = 4

x2 = 7 y2 = -8

to find:- the coordinate of the mid point of the line segment.

we use mid point formula,

let, the point be (x,y)

than,. x = x1 + x2 / 2

x = -5+7 / 2

x = 2/2

x = 1

similarly...,

y = y1 + y2

y = 4 + (-8)

y = 4 - 8

y = -4

therefore, the coordinates of its mid-point are (1,-4)
