Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points P1 and P2. P1 = (2.3,1.3) P2 = (-.07,1.1)

Answer 1

Given

The points,

`P_1=(2.3,1.3),P_2=(-0.7,1.1)`

To find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is known that,

The midpoint of the line segment joining two points is,

`Mid-point=((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))`

Since

`P_1=(2.3,1.3),P_2=(-0.7,1.1)`

Then,

`\begin{gathered} Midpoint=((2.3-0.7)/(2),(1.3-1.1)/(2)) \\ =((0.6)/(2),(0.2)/(2)) \\ =(0.3,0.1) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the midpoint of the line segment joining the given points is (0.3,0.1).
