Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment with the endpoints A and B.

A(2,6); B(10,8)
whats the midpoint of the segment?

Answer 1

( 6 , 7 )

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) )\\`

From the question we have

`m = ( (2 + 10)/(2) \: , \: (6 + 8)/(2) ) \\ = ((12)/(2) \: , \: (14)/(2) ) \: \: \: \: \: \: \:`

We have the final answer as

( 6 , 7 )
