Question

1. Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the two points (4,-3) and (12, 3).

Answer 1

The mid-point is (8,0)

Further explanation:

A mid-point is the point on the line which divides the line in two equal segments

The formula for mid-point is:

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

Where (x1,y1) are the coordinates of first point and (x2,y2) are the coordinates of second point.

Here,

(x1, y1) = (4,-3)

(x2,y2) = (12,3)

So,

$(x_m, y_m) = (\frac{4+12}{2} ,\frac{-3+3}{2})\\(x_m, y_m) = (\frac{16}{2} , \frac{0}{2})\\ (x_m, y_m) = (8,0)$

The mid-point is (8,0)
