Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are (2.6,5.1) and (3,4.7).

Answer 1

Answer:

Mid point is: (2.8;4.9)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find midpoint of a line segment we can use the general equation:

$Mid=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ;\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}$

Where the point of the line are: (x₁;y₁) and (x₂;y₂).

In the problem, x₁ = 2.6, y₁ = 5.1 and x₂ = 3 and y₂ = 4.7. Replacing in the equation:

$Mid=\frac{2.6+3}{2} ;\frac{5.1+4.7}{2}$

Mid point is: (2.8;4.9)
