Question

For (AB), point A has coordinates (3,-5) and point B has coordinates (-1,9). What are the coordinates of the midpoints of (AB)

Answer 1

I had the same question, the answer is 1,2.

Answer 2

The answer is

( 1 , 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( 3 , - 5) and B( - 1 , 9)

The midpoint is

`M = ( (3 - 1)/(2) \: , \: ( - 5 + 9)/(2) ) \\ = ( (2)/(2) \: , \: (4)/(2) )`

We have the final answer as

( 1 , 2)

Hope this helps you
