Question

the midpoint of the line joining p (4,6) and Q(6,8) is_____​

Answer 1

Answer:

From the formula: m1x2 + m2x1/m1 + m2

Step-by-step explanation:

m1 : m2 = 1: 1 ( since the coordinates of the mid point is asked so the line will be divided into two equal parts)

X1 , y1 = (4,6)

X2, y2= (6,8)

From the formula,

1*6+1*4 / 1+1

6+4 / 2

10 / 2

Therefore,.

X=5

For y,

1*8+1*6 /1+1

8+6/2

14/2

7

Therefore,

y= 7

Hence, the coordinates of the mid point =(5,7)
