Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of AB if A(-5, 9) and B(9,7).The coordinates of the midpoint of AB are

Answer 1

Answer:

(2,8)

Explanation:

Given the points A(-5, 9) and B(9,7), the midpoint of AB can be found by finding the average of the respective coordinates.

$\begin{gathered} \text{Midpoint}=(\frac{-5+9}{2},\frac{9+7}{2}) \\ =(\frac{4}{2},\frac{16}{2}) \\ =(2,8) \end{gathered}$

The coordinates of the midpoint of AB are (2,8).
