Question

What is the midpoint of segment AB with given the endpoints A(5,8) and B(3,42)?

Answer 1

The answer is

( 4 , 25)

Explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

`M = ( (x1 + x2)/(2) , \: (y1 + y2)/(2) )`

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

A(5,8) and B(3,42)

The midpoint of the line segment AB is

`M = ( (5 + 3)/(2) , \: (8 + 42)/(2) ) \\ = ( (8)/(2) \: , \: (50)/(2) )`

We have the final answer as

( 4 , 25)

Hope this helps you
