univerkov | August 14, 2021 | education

The middle of the segment AB on the plane with ends at points A (Xa; Ya) and B (Xb; Yb) has coordinates ((Xa + Xb) / 2; (Ya + Yb) / 2)

We substitute:

X coordinate: (Xa + Xb) / 2 = (2 + 4) / 2 = 6/2 = 3

Y coordinate: (Ya + Yb) / 2 = (3 – 5) / 2 = -1

Answer: The middle of the segment AB has coordinates (3; -1)
