Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are (3,7) and (9,3)

Answer 1

Answer:

The midpoints are ( 6, 5 ).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the endpoints are  A ( 3, 7) and B (9, 3)-

As we know that-

If a line segment AB is with endpoints ( $x_{1}, y_{1}$ ) and  ( $x_{2}, y_{2}$ then the mid points C are-  

C = ( $\frac{ x_{1} + x_{2} }{2}$, $\frac{ y_{1} + y_{2}  }{2}$  )

Here,

A ( 3, 7 ) and B ( 9, 3 )-

Then the  midpoints C are-

C = ( $\frac{ 3 + 9}{2}$, $\frac{ 7 + 3 }{2}$ )

C= ( 12/2 , 10/2 )

C = ( 6, 5 )

Hence the midpoints are (6, 5).
