Question

t(5, 10) and u(3, 10) are the endpoints of a line segment. what is the midpoint m of that line segment? write the coordinates as decimals or integers. m = ( , )

Explanation:

Step1: Find x - coordinate of mid - point

Use mid - point formula for x - coordinate $x=\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}$, where $x_1 = 5$ and $x_2=3$. So $x=\frac{5 + 3}{2}=\frac{8}{2}=4$.

Step2: Find y - coordinate of mid - point

Use mid - point formula for y - coordinate $y=\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}$, where $y_1 = 10$ and $y_2 = 10$. So $y=\frac{10+10}{2}=\frac{20}{2}=10$.

Answer:

$(4,10)$
