Question

the midpoint of the line segment between (2,1) (8,5) is​

Answer 1

Answer:

x1 = 2

y1 = 1

x2 = 8

y2 = 5

Using midpoint formula:

x = x1 + x2/2

x = 2 + 8/2

x = 5

y = y1 + y2/2

y = 1 + 5/2

y = 3

Therefore, the midpoint is (5,3).

Hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Answer:

(5 , 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x₁ = 2 , y₁ = 1 and x₂ = 8 , y₂ = 5

now applying mid point formula

M = (x₁+x₂/2) , (y₁ + y₂ / 2)

   =  (2 + 8/2) , (1 + 5 / 2)

   = (10/2) , (6/2)

   =   (5, 3)
