Question

A line segment has endpoints at (8,5) and (0,9).

What are the coordinates of the midpoint for this line segment?
Midpoint (
)

Answer 1

(4, 7)

==============

The coordinates of the midpoint for a line segment can be found by finding the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates of the endpoints.

In this case, the x-coordinate of the midpoint is:

• (8 + 0) / 2 = 4

And the y-coordinate is:

• (5 + 9) / 2 = 7

Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint are (4, 7).
