Question
Find the coordinates of the midpoints of the line segment joining
A(3,0) and B(-5, 4)
Advertisements
Solution
The given points are A(3,0) and B(-5, 4)
Let ( x,y) be the midpoint of AB. Then :
` x= (x_1 +x_2)/2 , y = (y_1+y_2)/2`
` ⇒ x = (3+(-5))/2 , y = (0+4) /2 `
`⇒ x =(-2)/2 , y = 4/2 `
⇒ x = -1 , y=2
Therefore, (-1,2) are the coordinates of midpoint of AB.
