Chapter 9.5, Problem 30E

To determine

Tofind:Midpoint of segment with given points.

Answer to Problem 30E

  $M=\left(4.9,2.1\right)$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  $\begin{array}{l}\left(x_1,y_1\right)=\left(3.8,4\right)\\ \left(x_2,y_2\right)=\left(6,0.2\right)\end{array}$

Concept Used:

Midpoint of two points - $M=\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

Calculation:

  $\begin{array}{l}M=\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)\\ \Rightarrow M=\left(\frac{3.8+6}{2},\frac{4+0.2}{2}\right)\\ \Rightarrow M=\left(\frac{9.8}{2},\frac{4.2}{2}\right)\\ \Rightarrow M=\left(4.9,2.1\right)\end{array}$
