Answer:

The mid-point is (7.5, 8.5).

Explanation:

We are given two points (9,9) and (6,8) as the endpoints for a line segment and we are to find the midpoint of this segment.

We know that the formula for finding the mid point is:

Mid point =
$(\frac {x_1 + x_1 }{ 2 } ,\frac { y_1 + y_2} {2} )$

So substituting the given values of the coordinates of the endpoints in the above formula to get:

$= (\frac {9 + 6}{2} , \frac {9 + 8}{2} )$

$= (\frac {15}{2} , \frac {17} {2} )$

=(7.5, 8.5)

Therefore, the mid-point is (7.5, 8.5).
