Question

Simplify the midpoint of QS.

Answer 1

Answer:

[(a + b), c]

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint of a segment with extreme ends represented by ordered pairs $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$,

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

It is given that extreme ends of the segment QS are Q(2b, 2c) and S(2a, 0)

Coordinates of the midpoint of QS will be,

= $(\frac{2a+2b}{2},\frac{2c+0}{2} )$

= [(a + b), c]

Therefore, ordered pair representing the midpoint of QS will be [(a + b), c].
