13) Find the coordinate of the midpoint of the line joining the points (3,8) |
|
Answer» We know that the mid point FORMULA M=(x,y) of the two points (x 1
,y 1
) and (x
,y 2
) is: (x,y)=( 2 x 1
+x 2
, 2 y 1
+y 2
) Here, the given points are (−3,10) and (6,−8), THEREFORE, (x,y)=( 2 x 1
+x 2
, 2 y 1
+y 2
) ⇒(x,y)=( 2 −3+6
, 2 10+(−8)
) ⇒(x,y)=( 2 3
, 2 10−8
) ⇒(x,y)=( 2 3
, 2 2
) ⇒(x,y)=( 2 3
,1)
Hence, the coordinates of the mid point are ( 2 3
,1). |
