Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment with end coordinates of: (0,2) and (2,8)

Answer 1

(1, 5 )

Explanation:

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

(
`(x_(1)+x_(2) )/(2)`,
`(y_(1)+y_(2) )/(2)` )

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 8) , then

midpoint = (
`(0+2)/(2)`,
`(2+8)/(2)` ) = (
`(2)/(2)`,
`(10)/(2)` ) = (1, 5 )
