Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (9,6) and (-1,-6).

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{(4 \: , \: 0)}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the points be A and B

Let A ( 9 , 6 ) be ( x₁ , y₁ ) and B ( -1 , -6 ) be ( x₂ , y₂)

Finding the mid points of the line segment joining these points

$\boxed{ \sf{midpoint = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )}}$

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{( \frac{9 + ( - 1)}{2} , \: \frac{6 + ( - 6)}{2}) }}$

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{ (\frac{9 - 1}{2} \: , \: \frac{6 - 6}{2} }})$

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{( \frac{8}{2} , \: \frac{0}{2} }})$

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{(4 \: , \: 0}})$
