Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are (2.6,5.1) and (3,4.7).

1. (0.2, 0.2)
2. (1.45, 4.9)
4. (2.8, 4.9)​

Answer 1

(2.8, 4.9)

Explanation:

Answer 2

Mid point is: (2.8;4.9)

Explanation:

To find midpoint of a line segment we can use the general equation:

`Mid=(x_1+x_2)/(2) ;(y_1+y_2)/(2)`

Where the point of the line are: (x₁;y₁) and (x₂;y₂).

In the problem, x₁ = 2.6, y₁ = 5.1 and x₂ = 3 and y₂ = 4.7. Replacing in the equation:

`Mid=(2.6+3)/(2) ;(5.1+4.7)/(2)`

Mid point is: (2.8;4.9)
