Question

How to find the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment with the given endpoints?

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

given the endpoints of a line segment

(x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

[$\frac{1}{2}$(x₁ + x₂), $\frac{1}{2}$(y₁ + y₂) ]

For example

consider the endpoints (4, 2) and (6, - 4)

midpoint = [$\frac{1}{2}$(4 + 6), $\frac{1}{2}$(2 - 4)] = (5, - 1)
