Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment having the given endpoints.

Q (1,-3), R (11, 5)

a) (6,1)
b) (-5, -4)
c) (-10, -8)
d) (-1, 8)

Answer 1

a) (6,1) is the midpoint of (1,-3) and (11,5)

Answer 2

x² + x¹ 11+1
--------- =. ------= 6
2. 2


y² + y¹. 5+(-3).
-------- = ---------- = 1
2. 2


So the midpoint is a) (6,1)
