Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining points A and B. A(4,-7); B(6,1)

Answer 1

(5, -3) is the midpoint of the line segment.

Explanation:

To find the midpoint of the line segment, we need to find the average of value x and value y:

x = (4 + 6)/2 = 5

y = (-7 + 1)/2 = -3

So in conclusion, the midpoint of this line segment (4,-7) and (6,1) is (5, -3)

Note:

Point A have 4 as x, and -7 as y, and

Point B have 6 as x, and 1 as y.
