Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints (4,5) and (1,2)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mid point of two points is given as

Let Point 1 be(x1,y1)

And point 2 be (x2,y2)

Then, mid point is given as

M = [ (x1+x2) / 2 , (y1+y2) / 2 ]

So, given that,

Point 1 =(4,5)

Then, x1=4 and y1=5

Point 2=(1,2)

Also, x2=1 and y2=2

Then, applying the formulae

M = [ (x1+x2) / 2 , (y1+y2) / 2 ]

M = [ (4+1) / 2 , (2+5) / 2 ]

M = [ 5 / 2 , 7 / 2 ]

Then, the midpoint is

M=(5/2, 7/2)

To decimal point

M=(2.5 , 3.5)

To mixed fraction

M=(2½, 3½)

(x, y)=(2½, 3½)
