Definition
| The midpoint M
of the line segment joining the points (x1, y1) and (x 2, y 2) is
|
Example Problem
| Given the points ( 1, -2 ) and ( -3, 5 ), find the midpoint of the line segment joining them. |
Solution
| Using the midpoint formula, label the
points as x1
= -1, y1 = -2, x2 = -3, and y2 = 5. To
find the midpoint M of the line
segment joining the points, use the midpoint formula : |
