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

Answer:

The answer is

( 1 , 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

$M = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )$

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

$M = ( \frac{3 - 1}{2} \: , \: \frac{ - 5 + 9}{2} ) \\ = ( \frac{2}{2} \: , \: \frac{4}{2} )$

We have the final answer as

( 1 , 2)

Hope this helps you
