Answer 1

Given:

A line AB joins the points A (3,4) and B (5,8).

To find:

The midpoint of the line AB.

Solution:

Midpoint formula:

`Midpoint=\left((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2)\right)`

A line AB joins the points A (3,4) and B (5,8). So, the midpoint of line AB is

`Midpoint=\left((3+5)/(2),(4+8)/(2)\right)`

`Midpoint=\left((8)/(2),(12)/(2)\right)`

`Midpoint=\left(4,6\right)`

Therefore, the midpoint of the line AB is (4,6).
