Question

Midpoint of the line joining the points ($x_1,y_1$) and ($x_2,y_2$) is $(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Midpoint is the point which divides the line in the ratio 1:1 , so using section formula, midpint of line joining the point ($x_1,y_1$) and ($x_2,y_2$) is $(\frac{1\left(x_1\right)+1\left(x_2\right)}{1+1},\frac{1\left(y_1\right)+1\left(y_2\right)}{1+1})$ = $(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$.
