Find the midpoint of each line segment. - Show Work

Question

(0,1), (3,5)

Answer 1

To find the midpoint, we add the comparative coordinates together, and then divide by 2:

X-coordinate:

^{0 + 3} / ₂

 

Y-coordinate:

^{1 + 5} / ₂

 

Solve those, and you will have your line segment midpoint.

Answer 2

The general mid point formula is: [(x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2]. In other words:

 

X_mid = (X₁ + X₂)/2 = (0+3)/2 = 1.5

Y_mid = (Y₁ + Y₂)/2 = (1+5)/2 = 3

 

Pertinent to this particular math problem, the answer is: (1.5, 3)
