Question

Find the midpoint: (2,−7),(10,1) *

Answer 1

The answer is

( 6 , - 3)

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

(2,−7),(10,1)

The midpoint is

`M = ( (2 + 10)/(2) , \: ( - 7 + 1)/(2) ) \\ = ( (12)/(2) \: , \: - (6)/(2) )`

We have the final answer as

( 6 , - 3)

Hope this helps you
