Question

The endpoints of CD are C(1, -6)and D(7,5). Find the coordinate of the midpoint, M

Answer 1

Answer:

(4, - 0.5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

[ $\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2}$ , $\frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2}$ ]

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = C(1, - 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = D(7, 5) , then

midpoint = ( $\frac{1+7}{2}$ , $\frac{-6+5}{2}$ ) = $\frac{8}{2}$ , $\frac{-1}{2}$ ) = (4, - 0.5 )
