Question

the midpoint of the line segment joining the points P (x1, y1 ) and q ( x2 ,y2) is ____________​

Answer 1

the midpoint of the line segment joining the points P (x1, y1 ) and q ( x2 ,y2) is ([x1+x2]/2 , [y1+y2]/2)

As we know the mid point between two points 'a' and 'b' is (a+b)/2, similarly,

For finding out the mid point of line segment joining two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) will be ([x1+x2]/2 , [y1+y2]/2)

Eg. If the two points are (2, 4) and (6,8), then the mid point of the line segment joining them would be:

([2+6]/2 , [4+8]/2) = (4,6)

Answer 2

Answer:

[(x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2]
