Question 2

Answer 1

Answer:

$M = (9,3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x_1,y_1) = (4,8)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (14,-2)$

Required

Find the midpoint (M)

The midpoint is calculated as follows:

$M = (\frac{1}{2}(x_1+x_2),\frac{1}{2}(y_1+y_2))$

Substitute values for x's and y's

$M = (\frac{1}{2}(4+14),\frac{1}{2}(8-2))$

$M = (\frac{1}{2}(18),\frac{1}{2}(6))$

$M = (\frac{1}{2}*18,\frac{1}{2}*6)$

$M = (9,3)$

Hence, the midpoint is (9,3)
