Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of line segment lb if l (8, 5) and b (-6, 2).

Answer 1

Answer:

The coordinates of the midpoint of the segment is (1,3.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are concerned with finding the coordinates of the mid point of the line that joins segment lb

To do this, we shall be using the midpoint formula;

(x,y) = (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2

Where (x1,y1) = (8,5)

(x2,y2) = (-6,2)

Thus;

(x, y) = (8 + (-6))/2, (5 + 2)/2

(x ,y) = (2/2), (7/2)

(x,y) = (1,3.5)
