Question

What are the coordinates of the midpoint of line segment EF, shown below?

Coordinate of E: (-8,3)
Coordinate of F: (12,17)​

Answer 1

(2,10)

Explanation:

To find the midpoint of a line segment:

E(-8, 3); ⇒ x₁ = -8 & y₁ = 3

F(12, 17) ⇒ x₂= 12 & y₂ = 17

Plug in the values in the below mentioned formula:

`\boxed{\bf Midpoint = \left((x_1+x_2)/(2), (y_1+y_2)/(2)\right)}`

`\sf = \left((-8+12)/(2), (3+17)/(2)\right)\\\\\\=\left((4)/(2), (20)/(2)\right)\\\\\\=(2,10)`
