Question

Find the midpoint of the segment from point a (6,3) to point B (8,1)

Answer 1

Answer: $M=(7,2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use the following formula:

 $M=(\frac{x_A+x_B}{2},\frac{y_A+y_B}{2})$

Given the points A(6,3) and B(8,1), you can identify that:

$x_A=6\\x_B=8\\y_A=3\\y_B=1$

Now, you can substitute these values into the formula $M=(\frac{x_A+x_B}{2},\frac{y_A+y_B}{2})$.

Therefore, you get this result:

$M=(\frac{6+8}{2},\frac{3+1}{2})$

$M=(7,2)$

Answer 2

ANSWER

The midpoint is (7,2)

EXPLANATION

The midpoint is calculated using the formula:

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

The x-coordinate of the midpoint is given by

$x = \frac{6 + 8}{2}$

$x = \frac{14}{2} = 7$

The y-coordinate of the midpoint is given by:

$y = \frac{3 + 1}{2}$

$y = \frac{4}{2} = 2$

The midpoint is (7,2)
