Question

write the co -oridinates of the midpoint of the line segment joining the points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2).​

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the midpoint be P(x,y).

midpoint divides the line segment into 2 equal parts. so let the ratio be 1:1

so we have m1:m2 = 1:1

by section formula ,

P(x,y) = [(m1x2+ m2x1)/m1+m2, (m1y2+ m2y1)/m1+m2]

P(x,y) = [ (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2]
