Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are (7, 5) and (7, 11).

Answer 1

The midpoint of AB where
`A(x_A;\ y_A)` and
`B(x_B;\ y_B)`


`\left((x_A+x_B)/(2);\ (y_A+y_B)/(2)\right)`


`A(7;\ 5);\ B(7;\ 11)`

The midpoint of AB:
`\left((7+7)/(2);\ (5+11)/(2)\right)=\left((14)/(2);\ (16)/(2)\right)=(7;\ 8)`

Answer: (7, 8)

Answer 2

The midpoint of two points can be obtained by taking the average between the two abscissas or two ordinates. In this case ,the x-value of the midpoint is equal to (7+7)/2 equal to 7 while the y-value of the midpoint is equalto (5+11)/2 equal to 8. Hence the midpoint is t (7,8)
