Question

Find the coordinates of midpoint F.

(Enter answer in simplified form.)
A(-3a, b)
B3a b)
F= ([?],[])
Midpoint Formula : M = ()
Ca 5b

Answer 1

The coordinates are (0,b)

Explanation:

Here, we want to find the coordinates of the midpoint F

as we can see, F is between A and B

we proceed to use the midpoint formula

The midpoint formula is;

(x,y) = (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2

(x1,y1) = (-3a, b)

(x2,y2) = (3a, b)

The substitution of these values will thus yield;

(-3a + 3a)/2, (b + b)/2

= (0/2), (2b/2)

= (0, b)
