Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment defined by the points: (5, 4) and (−2, 1)

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer: The mid point of the line segment is (1.5,2.5).

Explanation:

Since we have given that

A (5,4) and B(-2,1) are the end points of the line segment.

We need to find the mid point say 'C':

As we know the formula for "Mid point ":

`C=((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))\\\\C=(5-2)/(2),(4+1)/(2))\\\\C=((3)/(2),(5)/(2))\\\\C=(1.5,2.5)`

Hence, the mid point of the line segment is (1.5,2.5).
