Question

Write the coordinates of the midpoint of the line joining the points p(x1, y1) and q(x2, y2)

Answer 1

Answer:

p(x,y)=(x1+x2/2 , y1 +y2/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

:- line is divided into 1:1 ratio

Answer 2

Given,

A line with end coordinates P( x1, y1 ) and Q( x2, y2 ).

To find,

The coordinates of midpoints of the line joining PQ.

Solution,

• A midpoint generally divides the line into two halves.

• Suppose, a line AB is of 8 units, then the midpoint C will divide the line AB into two halves that are 4 units each.

• Since P has coordinates ( x1 , y1 ) and Q has coordinates ( x2 , y2 ) , then the midpoint M ( X1, Y1)  of the line PQ would have coordinates  X1 = ( x1  + x2 )/2 and Y1 = ( y1 +y2 )/2.

Hence, the coordinates of the midpoint of the line joining the points p(x1, y1) and q(x2, y2) are ( x1  + x2 )/2  and ( y1 +y2 )/2.
