Question

Find the midpoint of segment P Q if P(10, 2) and Q(8, 0)?
Answer

(-9, -1)

(-1, 9)

(1, 9)

(9, 1)

Answer 1

same formula!
The co-ordinates of midpoint(x,y) on the line segment with end-points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is just the average of co-ordinates, given by :
\(\large x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}\)
\(\large y=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\)
now,just put the values and find the co-ordinates of midpoint (x,y).
