Question

Solve the coordinate of the midpoint of the segment. Show your work and explain the steps you used

to solve.
12.44)
(108-16)

Answer 1

(60, 14 )

Explanation:

Given the endpoints of a segment (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) , then the midpoint is

(
`(x_(1)+x_(2) )/(2)` ,
`(y_(1)+y_(2) )/(2)` )

here (x₁, y₁ ) = (12, 44 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (108, - 16 ) , then

midpoint = (
`(12+108)/(2)`,
`(44-16)/(2)` ) = (
`(120)/(2)`,
`(28)/(2)` ) = ( 60, 14 )
