Question

Find the mid-points of the line segment joining the points 

(i) (-2, 3) and (-6, -5) 

(ii) (8, -2) and (-8, 0) 

(iii) (a, b) and (a + 2b, 2a – b) 

(iv) \((\frac{1}{2},-\frac{3}{7})\,and\,(\frac{3}{2},-\frac{11}{7})\)

Answer 1

(i) (-2, 3) and (-6, -5) 

A(-2, 3), B(-6, -5) 

(ii) (8, -2) and (-8, 0) 

A(8, -2), B(-8, 0) 

(iii) (a, b) and (a + 2b, 2a – b) 

A (a, b), B (a + 2b, 2a – b) 

(iv) \((\frac{1}{2},-\frac{3}{7})\,and\,(\frac{3}{2},-\frac{11}{7})\)

\(A(\frac{1}{2},-\frac{3}{7}),\,B\,(\frac{3}{2},-\frac{11}{7})\)
