Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are H(3,8) and K(7,4)

Answer 1

Answer:

The midpoints are ( 5, 6 ).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the endpoints are  H ( 3, 8) and K (7, 4)-

As we know that-

If a line segment AB is with endpoints ( $x_{1}, y_{1}$) and  ( $x_{2}, y_{2}$ ) then the mid points C are-  

C = ( $\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}} {2}$ , $\frac{ y_{1} + y_{2} }{2}$ )

Here,

H ( 3, 8 ) and K ( 7, 4 )

then the  midpoints C are-

C = ( $\frac{3 + 7 }{2}$ , $\frac{ 8 + 4 }{2}$

C= ( 10/2 , 12/2 )

C = ( 5, 6 )

Hence the midpoints are (5, 6).
