Question

Find the midpoint of A and B where A has coordinates (2, 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

The mid-point of AB is (5,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The mid-point of two points lies between the middle of two points or divides the line in two equal parts.

The formula for finding mid-point, M, is:

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

Here (x1,y1) are the coordinates of first point and (x2,y2) are coordinates of second point.

Given

(2, 3) and (8,9)

Putting the values in the formula

$M(x,y) =(\frac{2+8}{2} , \frac{3+9}{2})\\M = (\frac{10}{2}, \frac{12}{2})\\M = (5,6)$

Hence,

The mid-point of AB is (5,6)
