Question

Find the coordinates of midpoint of the segment joining the points (22, 20) and (0, 16).

Answer 1

Let the given points be A (22, 20) and B(0, 16).
Let the coordinate of the mid point be (x, y).
Using the midpoint formula
$$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{22+0}{2} \\ \Rightarrow 2x=22 \\ \Rightarrow x=11 \\ y=\frac{20+16}{2} \\ \Rightarrow 2y=36 \\ \Rightarrow y=18 \end{gathered}$$
(x, y) = (11, 18)
