The midpoint of the line segment of the endpoints (6,-6) and (1,2) is given as:
(3½,-1)
What is the midpoint of a line segment in geometry?
The midpoint of a line segment is simply the centre point of a give segment that cuts or divides it into two congruent segments.
That is for example, if there are two points with coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), then their midpoint will be ; [(x1+x2)÷2,(y1+y2)÷2]
From the given question!
x1=6, x2=1 and y1=-6,y2=2
Thus, the midpoint is derived as;
[(6+1)÷2,(-6+2)÷2]
[(7)÷2,(-4)÷2]
(3½,-1).
