Question

Find a coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment with the given endpoints (7,4), (9,-1)

Answer 1

Answer:

Coordinates of midpoint are (8,1.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given coordinates of end points are;

(7,4) and (9,-1)

we can find the coordinates of mid-point,

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

Here,

x1 = 7 and y1 = 4

x2 = 9 and y2 = -1

Putting these values in formula

Coordinates of mid point = $(\frac{7+9}{2},\frac{4+(-1)}{2})$

Midpoint = $(\frac{16}{2},\frac{4-1}{2})$

Midpoint = $(\frac{16}{2},\frac{3}{2})$

Midpoint = 8 , 1.5

Hence,

Coordinates of midpoint are (8,1.5).
