Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint: (4,4) (4, -18)

Answer 1

(4 , -7)

Explanation:

Formula for finding the co-ordinate of the mid point through section formula :-

`(x',y') = ((x^1+x^2)/(2) , (y^1+y^1)/(2) )` where (x' , y') are the co-ordinates of the mid-point of the line segment whose co-ordinate points of ends of the line segment are (x¹ , y¹) & (x² , y²) .

In the question ,

x¹ = 4

y¹ = 4

x² = 4

y² = - 18

Using the values above in the formula ,

`(x',y') = ( (4+4)/(2) , (4-18)/(2) ) = ((8)/(2) , (-14)/(2)) = (4,-7)`
