Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint M of the pencil.

hintHint:

Midpoint divides the line segment in two equal parts.
○        If Line has  two endpoints (x1, y1) and  (x2, y2) then midpoint of line segment will be fraction numerator open parentheses x subscript 1 plus x subscript 2 close parentheses over denominator 2 end fraction comma fraction numerator open parentheses y subscript 1 plus y subscript 2 close parentheses over denominator 2 end fraction

The correct answer is: (5, 4).


    • Step by step explanation:
    ○        Given:
    The endpoints of the pencil are A (4,0) R  (6, 8 ).
    M is the midpoint of the pencil.
    ○        Step 1:
    ○        Let the midpoint M be (x, y)
    ○        As we know, the midpoint divides the line segment in two equal parts, and midpoint of line are given by fraction numerator open parentheses x subscript 1 plus x subscript 2 close parentheses over denominator 2 end fraction comma fraction numerator open parentheses y subscript 1 plus y subscript 2 close parentheses over denominator 2 end fraction
    So,
    Coordinates of Midpoint of  M be:

    • Final Answer:
    Hence, the coordinates of the midpoint M is (5, 4).
