Question

Find the mid-point of the line segment joining the points : (i) (-6, 7) and (3, 5) (ii) (5, -3) and (-1, 7)

Answer 1

(i) mid point = $(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\frac{y_2+y_1}{2})$

mid point = $\left(\right[\frac{-6+3}{2}];[\frac{7+5}{2}\left]\right)=(-1.5,6)$

(ii)​​​​​​​ mid point = $(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\frac{y_2+y_1}{2})$

mid point = $\left(\right[\frac{5+-1}{2}];[\frac{-3+7}{2}\left]\right)=(2,2)$
