Question

the point of M ( a, 4 ) is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoint at A(1,3) and B(5,b). Find the value of a and b

Answer 1

The value of a and b from the coordinates are 3 and 5 respectively

Midpoint of coordinates

The formula for finding the midpoint of two coordinates is expressed as;

M(x, y) = {x1+x2/2, y1+y1/2}

Given the following coordinates

M(a, 4)

A(1,3)

B(5,b)

Using the formula

a = 1+5/2

a = 6/2

a = 3

Similarly

4 = 3+b/2

8 = 3+b

b = 8-3

b = 5

Hence the value of a and b from the coordinates are 3 and 5 respectively
