Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment joining the given points (0,2) and (6,4)

Answer 1

The coordinates of the midpoint are the average of the coordinates of the given points.

So, the x coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the x coordinates of the given point:

`(0+6)/(2) = (6)/(2) = 3`

And similarly, the y coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the y coordinates of the given point:

`(2+4)/(2) = (6)/(2) = 3`

So, the midpoint is the point
`(3,3)`
