Question

R(4, 2) and S(10, 10) are the endpoints of a line segment. What is the midpoint M of that line segment?

Answer 1

M = (7,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

formula to find mindpoint is

$(\frac{x2 + x1}{2} \frac{y2 + y1}{2} )$

(4,2) = (x1, y1)

(10,10) = (x2,y2)

now substitute those into the formula!

$\frac{10 + 4}{2} \frac{10 + 2}{2}$

now solve for x & y !!

$x = \frac{10 + 4}{2} = \frac{14}{2} = 7$

$y = \frac{10 + 2}{2} = \frac{12}{2} = 6$

so now that we have solved for x & y put it in point form and your done !!

point for is (x,y)

and thanks why the Midpoint is (7,6)
