Question

Find the midpoint of the segment having endpoints (0 ,1/8) and (-4/5 ,0)

Answer 1

Mid point of the given end points =
`((-2)/(5),(1)/(16) )`

Explanation:

Given the end points of the line segment are :

(0,
`(1)/(8)`) & (
`(-4)/(5)`,0)

We will use the mid point formula when two points are: (x₁,y₁) & (x₂,y₂)

mid point =
`((x_(1) +x_(2) )/(2),(y_(1) +y_(2) )/(2) )`

now put the value of x₁ = 0

x₂ =
`(-4)/(5)`

y₁ =
`(1)/(8)`

y₂ = 0

mid point =
`((0-(4)/(5) )/(2),((1)/(8)+0 )/(2))`

=
`((-2)/(5),(1)/(16) )`

That's the final answer.
