Question

What is the midpoint of the segment joining (2,6) and (10, 12)?

Answer 1

`M = (6,9)`

Explanation:

Given

(2,6) and (10, 12)

Required

Determine the midpoint

Midpoint, M is calculated as:

`M = ((x_1 + x_2)/(2),(y_1 + y_2)/(2))`

Substitute values if x1, y1, x2 and y2

`M = ((2 + 10)/(2),(6 + 12)/(2))`

`M = ((12)/(2),(18)/(2))`

`M = (6,9)`
