Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints (10,9) and (1,5)

Answer 1

The answer is

`( (11)/(2) \: , \: 7)`

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

(10,9) and (1,5)

The midpoint M is

`M = ( (10 + 1)/(2) , \: (9 + 5)/(2) ) \\ = ( (11)/(2) , \: (14)/(2) )`

We have the final answer as

`( (11)/(2) \: , \: 7)`

Hope this helps you
