Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment given at its endpoints A(5,8) and B(-1, -4)

Answer 1

$(x_{m},y_{m} ) = (\frac{X_{A} +X_{B} }{2} ,\frac{Y_{A} + Y_{B} }{2})$

$(x_{m},y_{m} ) = (\frac{5-1}{2} ,\frac{8-4 }{2})$

$(x_{m},y_{m} ) = (\frac{4}{2} ,\frac{4 }{2})$

$(x_{m},y_{m} )$ = (2, 2)

Answer: (2, 2)
