Solution
The given points are A( 2,9) and B(6,3) .
Then , C (x,y) is the midpoint of AB .
`x = (x_1+x_2)/2 , y = (y_1 +y_2) /2`
`⇒ x = (-2+6)/2 , y = (9+3)/2`
`⇒ x = 4/2 , y = 12/2 `
`⇒ x = 2 , y=6`
Therefore, the coordinates of point C are (2,6 ).

(Street Plan): A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction.
All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are 200 m apart. There are 5 streets in each direction. Using 1cm = 200 m, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines.
There are many cross- streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North - South direction and another in the East - West direction. Each cross street is referred to in the following manner : If the 2nd street running in the North - South direction and 5th in the East - West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street (2, 5). Using this convention, find:
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (4, 3).
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (3, 4).
