Question

Find the midpoint of A and B where A has coordinates (2,3) and B has coordinates (8,9)

Answer 1

(5, 6 )

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 ) = A (2, 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B (8, 9 ) , then

midpoint = (
`(2+8)/(2)` ,
`(3+9)/(2)` ) = (
`(10)/(2)` ,
`(12)/(2)` ) = (5, 6 )
