R(4, 2) and S(10, 10) are the endpoints of a line segment. What is the midpoint M of that line segment?

Write the coordinates as decimals or integers.

M = (, )

Respuesta :

M = (7,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

formula to find mindpoint is

[tex](\frac{x2 + x1}{2} \frac{y2 + y1}{2} )[/tex]

(4,2) = (x1, y1)

(10,10) = (x2,y2)

now substitute those into the formula!

[tex]\frac{10 + 4}{2} \frac{10 + 2}{2} [/tex]

now solve for x & y !!

[tex]x = \frac{10 + 4}{2} = \frac{14}{2} = 7[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{10 + 2}{2} = \frac{12}{2} = 6[/tex]

so now that we have solved for x & y put it in point form and your done !!

point for is (x,y)

and thanks why the Midpoint is (7,6)
