Question

R(0, 9) and S(4, 5) are the endpoints of a line segment. What is the midpoint M of that line segment?

Write the coordinates as decimals or integers.

M = (
,
)

Answer 1

M = ( 2, 7)

Explanation:

formula to find mindpoint is

`((x2 + x1)/(2) (y2 + y1)/(2) )`

(0,9) = (x1, y1)

(4,5) = (x2,y2)

now substitute those into the formula!

`((4 + 0 )/(2) (5 + 9)/(2) )`

now solve for x & y !!

`x = (4 + 0)/(2) = (4)/(2 ) = 2`

`y = (5 + 9)/(2) = (14)/(2) = 7`

so now that we have solved for x & y put it in point form and your done !!

• point for is (x,y)

and thanks why the Midpoint is (2,7)
