Question

point t is located at (1,2) and point U is located at (13, -4). Find the midpoint of line segment TU.

 

Help please

Answer 1

Let x₁ = 1, y₁ = 2, x₂ = 13, and y₂ = -4.

 

Use the midpoint formula (X_m, Y_m) = ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2)  =  (1 + 13)/2, (2 + -4)/2) = (14/2, -2/2) = (7, -1)
