Question

find the midpoint of points a(2, 6) and b(9, 0) graphically. plot the line segment ab by clicking twice on the graph. start over

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

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

Step2: Identify coordinates

Here $x_1 = 2,y_1=6,x_2 = 9,y_2 = 0$.

Step3: Calculate x - coordinate of mid - point

$x=\frac{2 + 9}{2}=\frac{11}{2}=5.5$.

Step4: Calculate y - coordinate of mid - point

$y=\frac{6+0}{2}=3$.

Answer:

$(5.5,3)$
