Question

The endpoints of line segment CD are C(-2,0) and D(4,9). Find the midpoint of
line segment CD

Answer 1

Given:

The endpoints of line segment CD are C(-2,0) and D(4,9).

To find:

The midpoint of CD.

Solution:

Midpoint formula:

`Midpoint=\left((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2)\right)`

Using the midpoint formula, the midpoint of CD is

`Midpoint=\left((-2+4)/(2),(0+9)/(2)\right)`

`Midpoint=\left((2)/(2),(9)/(2)\right)`

`Midpoint=\left(1,4.5\right)`

Therefore, the midpoint of the line segment CD is (1,4.5).
