Given:
A line AB joins the points A (3,4) and B (5,8).
To find:
The midpoint of the line AB.
Solution:
Midpoint formula:
[tex]Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)[/tex]
A line AB joins the points A (3,4) and B (5,8). So, the midpoint of line AB is
[tex]Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{3+5}{2},\dfrac{4+8}{2}\right)[/tex]
[tex]Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{8}{2},\dfrac{12}{2}\right)[/tex]
[tex]Midpoint=\left(4,6\right)[/tex]
Therefore, the midpoint of the line AB is (4,6).
