Question

What is the x-coordinate of the midpoint of the segment between (4 , -5) and (8 , 2)?

Answer 1

Answer: -5

Solution: Calculate the midpoint of a segment defined by two points A(Xa , Ya) and B(Xb,Yb). The midpoint is a point whose x and y coordinates are given by

X coordinate of Midpoint= (Xa+Xb) / 2

Y coordinate of Midpoint= (Ya+Yb) / 2
