Question

A line segment has the endpoints C(4,9) and D(8,7). Find the coordinates of its midpoint M

Answer 1

M = (6, 8)

Explanation:

To the find the midpoint of a segment you add the x values, then divide by 2, then add the y values and divide by 2.
`M = ((x_(1) +x_(2) )/(2), (y_(1) +y_(2) )/(y) )`. Therefore, you would do ((4+8)/2, (9+7)/2). So, you're answer is (12/2, 16/2), which equals (6, 8)
