Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the
following endpoints.
(8, 2) and (1, 10)

Answer 1

(4.5 , 6)

Explanation:

Finding the midpoints of segment when endpoints are given:

To find the midpoints, add the x-coordinates and divide by 2 and add the y-coordinates and divide by 2.

(8 , 2) ⇒ x₁ = 8 ; y₁ = 2

(1 , 10) ⇒ x₂ = 1 ; y₂ = 10

`\sf Mipoint\left((x_1+x_2)/(2), (y_1+y_2)/(2)\right)`

`\sf = \left((8+1)/(2),(2+10)/(2)\right)\\\\\\=\left((9)/(2),(12)/(2)\right)\\\\\\=(4.5,6)`
