Question

What is the midpoint of the segment that has the end points (3a, 5b + 1), (8a-2, 7b)

Answer 1

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).

Answer 2

I got 11a-2 divided by two , 12b+1 divided by two but I don't know how to finish dividing it

Answer 3

thats your final answer :)
