Question

What is the midpoint of the segment joining (2,6) and (10, 12)?

Answer 1

Answer:

$M = (6,9)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(2,6) and (10, 12)

Required

Determine the midpoint

Midpoint, M is calculated as:

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

Substitute values if x1, y1, x2 and y2

$M = (\frac{2 + 10}{2},\frac{6 + 12}{2})$

$M = (\frac{12}{2},\frac{18}{2})$

$M = (6,9)$
