Question

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

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

given the endpoints of a line segment

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

[
`(1)/(2)`(x₁ + x₂),
`(1)/(2)`(y₁ + y₂) ]

For example

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

midpoint = [
`(1)/(2)`(4 + 6),
`(1)/(2)`(2 - 4)] = (5, - 1)
