Answer 1

Hope this helps you .......

Answer 2

Answer: The midpoint of line segment AB is,

`(4,3)`

Explanation:

Since, the coordinates of the midpoint of a line segment having the endpoints
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)` are,

`((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))`

Thus, the coordinates of midpoint of the line segment AB having endpoints A(9, 8) and B(-1, -2) are,

`((9+(-1))/(2),(8+(-2))/(2))`

`=((9-1)/(2), (8-2)/(2))`

`=((8)/(2), (6)/(2))`

`=(4,3)`
