Question

Which methods could you use to calculate the y-coordinate of the midpointof a vertical line segment with endpoints at (0,0) and (0,15)

Answer 1

Answer:

y-coordinate of midpoint of line segment joining the endpoints (0,0) and (0,15) is 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two end points of line segment that are (0,0) and (0,15). If we have to find the y-coordinate of midpoint of a vertical line segment then we apply mid point formula.

The Midpoint formula is used when one is need to find the exact center point between two given points.

The mid point M of line segment $A(x_{1},y_{1})$ and  $B(x_{2},y_{2})$ can be calculated as

$M(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})$

Mid point of line joining the end points (0,0) and (0,15) is

$M(\frac{0+0}{2},\frac{0+15}{2})$=M(0,7.5)

Hence, y-coordinate of midpoint of line segment joining the endpoints (0,0) and (0,15) is 7.5
