Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining points A and B. A(4,-5); B(4,3)

Answer 1

The given points are

`A(4,-5),B(4,3)`

The midpoint can be found with the following formula

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

Using the given points, we have

`\begin{gathered} M=((4+4)/(2),(-5+3)/(2))\rightarrow M=((8)/(2),(-2)/(2)) \\ M=(4.-1) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the midpoint is at (4,-1).
