Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment with the given endpoints T(3, 1), U(5, 3)

Answer 1

(4, 2 )

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 ) = T (3, 1 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = U (5, 3 )

midpoint = (
`(3+5)/(2)` ,
`(1+3)/(2)` ) = (
`(8)/(2)` ,
`(4)/(2)` ) = (4, 2 )
