Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment with the given endpoints. A(-12,2), C(-3,5)

Answer 1

The coordinates of the midpoint of a segment with the given endpoints will be (-7.5, 3.5).

What is the mid-point of the line segment?

Let AB be the line segment and C be the mid-point of line segment AB. Let the coordinate of point A (x₁, y₁), the coordinate of point B (x₂, y₂), and the coordinate of the mid-point (x, y).

Then the coordinate of the mid-point of the line segment is given as,

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

The endpoints are A(-12, 2) and C(-3,5).

Then the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment with the given endpoints will be

(x, y) = [(- 12 - 3) / 2, (2 + 5) / 2]

(x, y) = (-15/2, 7/2)

(x, y) = (-7.5, 3.5)

The coordinates of the midpoint of a segment with the given endpoints will be (-7.5, 3.5).
