Question

find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points p1 and p2. p1=(2, - 3), p2=(4, 3). the midpoint of the line segment joining the points p1 and p2 is ( (simplify your answer. type an ordered pair.) )

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

The mid - point formula for two points $P_1=(x_1,y_1)$ and $P_2=(x_2,y_2)$ is $M = (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$. Here $x_1 = 2,y_1=-3,x_2 = 4,y_2 = 3$.

Step2: Calculate x - coordinate of mid - point

$x=\frac{2 + 4}{2}=\frac{6}{2}=3$.

Step3: Calculate y - coordinate of mid - point

$y=\frac{-3+3}{2}=\frac{0}{2}=0$.

Answer:

$(3,0)$
