Question

Which is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (1 2) and (7 8)​

Answer 1

(4, 5)

Explanation:

Calculate the midpoint using the midpoint formula

midpoint = [
`(1)/(2)`(
`x_(1)` +
`x_(2)`),
`(1)/(2)`(
`y_(1)` +
`y_(2)`) ]

with (
`x_(1)`,
`y_(1)` ) = (1, 2) and (
`x_(2)`,
`y_(2)` ) = (7, 8)

midpoint = [
`(1)/(2)`(1 + 7),
`(1)/(2)`(2 + 8) ]

= (4, 5)
