question
find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints.
(8,9) and (4,3)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

The mid - point formula for two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$.
Here $x_1=8,y_1 = 9,x_2=4,y_2 = 3$.

Step2: Calculate the x - coordinate of the mid - point

$x=\frac{8 + 4}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6$

Step3: Calculate the y - coordinate of the mid - point

$y=\frac{9+3}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6$

Answer:

$(6,6)$
