Question

find the midpoint of points a(0, 0) and b(4, -4) graphically.
plot the line segment ab by clicking twice on the graph.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

The mid - point formula for two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $M=(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$. Here, $x_1 = 0,y_1 = 0,x_2=4,y_2=-4$.

Step2: Calculate x - coordinate of mid - point

$x=\frac{0 + 4}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2$.

Step3: Calculate y - coordinate of mid - point

$y=\frac{0+( - 4)}{2}=\frac{-4}{2}=-2$.

Answer:

$(2,-2)$
