Question

The midpoint of the coordinates (3, 15) and (20,8) is -

Answer 1

Answer:

The midpoint of the given coordinates is $(\frac{23}{2},\frac{23}{2})\ or\ (11.5,11.5)$.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given two coordinates (3,15) and (20,8).

Let we have given a line segment PQ whose P coordinate is (3,15) and Q coordinate is (20,8).

We have to find out the mid point M(x,y) of the line segment PQ.

Solution,

By the mid point formula of coordinates, which is;

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

On substituting the given values, we get;

$M(x,y)=(\frac{3+20}{2}, \frac{15+8}{2})\\\\M(x,y)=(\frac{23}{2},\frac{23}{2})$

We can also say that $M(x,y)=(11.5,11.5)$

Hence The midpoint of the given coordinates is $(\frac{23}{2},\frac{23}{2})\ or\ (11.5,11.5)$.
