Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining points A and B.

A(6,- 7); B(6,3)
The midpoint of the line segment is
(Type an ordered pair.)

Answer 1

The answer is

( 6 , - 2)

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(6,- 7); B(6,3)

The midpoint is

`M = ( (6 + 6 )/(2) \: , \: ( - 7 + 3)/(2) ) \\ = ( (12)/(2) \: , \: - (4)/(2) )`

We have the final answer as

( 6 , - 2)
