Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment given at its endpoints A(5,8) and B(-1, -4)

Answer 1

`(x_(m),y_(m) ) = ((X_(A) +X_(B) )/(2) ,(Y_(A) + Y_(B) )/(2))`

`(x_(m),y_(m) ) = ((5-1)/(2) ,(8-4 )/(2))`

`(x_(m),y_(m) ) = ((4)/(2) ,(4 )/(2))`

`(x_(m),y_(m) )` = (2, 2)

Answer: (2, 2)
