Co-ordinates of midpoint of line joining the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) = {(x1+x2)/2 ,(y1+y2)/2}
(i) Co-ordinates of midpoint of line joining the points (2, -3) and (-6,7) = {(2+-6)/2, (-3+7)/2}
= (-4/2, 4/2)
= (-2, 2)
Hence the co-ordinates of midpoint of line joining the points (2, -3) and (-6,7) is (-2, 2).
(ii) Co-ordinates of midpoint of line joining the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) = {(x1+x2)/2 ,(y1+y2)/2}
Co-ordinates of midpoint of line joining the points (5, -11) and (4,3) = {(5+4)/2, (-11+3)/2}
= (9/2, -8/2)
= (9/2, -4)
Hence the co-ordinates of midpoint of line joining the points (5, -11) and (4,3) is (9/2, -4).
(iii) Co-ordinates of midpoint of line joining the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) = {(x1+x2)/2 ,(y1+y2)/2}
Co-ordinates of midpoint of line joining the points (a+3, 5b) and (2a-1,3b+4) = {(a+3+2a-1)/2, (5b+3b+4)/2}
= {(3a+2)/2, (8b+4)/2}
= {(3a+2)/2, (4b+2)}
Hence the co-ordinates of midpoint of line joining the points (a+3, 5b) and (2a-1,3b+4) are {(3a+2)/2, (4b+2)}.
