The mid-point of the line segment is (2 , )
Step-by-step explanation:
If (x , y) is the mid-point of a segment whose end points are and , then
∵ The end-points of a line segment are (6 , ) and (-2 , )
∴ = 6 and = -2
∴ = and =
∵
∴
∴
∴
∴ x = 2
∴ The x-coordinate of the mid-point is 2
∵
∴
∴
∴
- Divide up and down by 2 to reduce the fraction to its lowest value
∴
∴ The y-coordinate of the mid-point is
The mid-point of the line segment is (2 , )
