Question

Each problem below gives the endpoints of a segment. Find the coordinates of the midpoints of each segment. A.(5, 2) and (11, 14)
B.(3, 8) and (10, 4)

Answer 1

The midpoints are (8,3) and (6.5,6).

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint formula = ((x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2)

(x1,y1) = (5,2)

(x2,y2) = (11,4)

Midpoint = ((5+11)/2 , (2+4)/2)

⇒ ((16/2) , (6/2))

⇒ (8,3)

(x1,y1) = (3,8)

(x2,y2) = (10,4)

Midpoint = ((3+10)/2 , (8+4)/2)

⇒ ((13/2) , (12/2))

⇒ (6.5,6)
