Question

Find the midpoint of the segment having endpoints (0 ,1/8) and (-4/5 ,0)

Answer 1

Answer:

Mid point of the given end points = $(\frac{-2}{5},\frac{1}{16} )$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the end points of the line segment are :

(0, $\frac{1}{8}$) & ($\frac{-4}{5}$,0)

We will use the mid point formula when two points are: (x₁,y₁) & (x₂,y₂)

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

now put the value of x₁ = 0

x₂ = $\frac{-4}{5}$

y₁ = $\frac{1}{8}$

y₂ = 0

mid point = $(\frac{0-\frac{4}{5} }{2},\frac{\frac{1}{8}+0 }{2})$

                = $(\frac{-2}{5},\frac{1}{16} )$

That's the final answer.
