Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints. (9,6) and (5,2)

Answer 1

Answer:

$M(7 ; 4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

midpoint -M

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

$M(\frac{9+5}{2} ; \frac{6+2}{2} )$

$M(7 ; 4)$

Answer 2

Answer:

(7, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = (9, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 2) , then

midpoint = ( $\frac{9+5}{2}$ , $\frac{6+2}{2}$ ) = ($\frac{14}{2}$ , $\frac{8}{2}$ ) = (7, 4 )
