Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining points A and B. A(4,-5); B(4,3)

Answer 1

The given points are

$A(4,-5),B(4,3)$

The midpoint can be found with the following formula

$M=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Using the given points, we have

$\begin{gathered} M=(\frac{4+4}{2},\frac{-5+3}{2})\rightarrow M=(\frac{8}{2},\frac{-2}{2}) \\ M=(4.-1) \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the midpoint is at (4,-1).
