Question

A line segment has the endpoints C(4,9) and D(8,7). Find the coordinates of its midpoint M

Answer 1

Answer:

M = (6, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

To the find the midpoint of a segment you add the x values, then divide by 2, then add the y values and divide by 2. $M = (\frac{x_{1} +x_{2} }{2}, \frac{y_{1} +y_{2} }{y} )$. Therefore, you would do ((4+8)/2, (9+7)/2). So, you're answer is (12/2, 16/2), which equals      (6, 8)
