Question

In in the exercise 15 the endpoint of CD are given find the coordinates of the midpoint m​

Answer 1

Answer:

$M(5,2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of M are calculated using the midpoint formula:

$M(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )$

where $(x_1,y_1)=C(3,-5)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=D(7,9)$

We substitute into the formula to obtain:

$M(\frac{3+7}{2},\frac{-5+9}{2} )$

We simplify to get:

$M(\frac{10}{2},\frac{4}{2} )$

The coordinates of the midpoint of CD are:

$M(5,2)$
