Question

The points A(12,7)A12,7, B(12,-3)B12,-3, C(-2,-3)C-2,-3, and D(-2,7)D-2,7 form rectangle ABCDABCD. Which point is halfway between AA and BB?

Answer 1

To find the midpoint of line segment AB, we find the total distance for both x and y coordinates and then divide each answer by 2.

A (12, 7)
B (12, -3)

Mid point (
`(12+12)/(2)`,
`(7+-3)/(2)`)
Mid point (
`(24)/(2)`,
`(4)/(2)`}
Mid point (12, 2)
