Find the coordintes of the midpoint of the segment joining
P(0,6) and Q (12 ,20).

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

P(0,6) and Q (12, 20)
If ` P (x_(1) , y_(1) " and " Q(x_(2) y_(2)) " then" x_(1) = 0, y_(1) = 6, x_(2) = 12 and y_(2) = 20 ` .
Let M(x,y) be the midpoint of seg PQ .
By midpoint formula
` x = (x_(1) + x_(2))/(2)`
` therefore x = (0 + 12)/(2)`
` therefore x = (12)/(2)`
` therefore x = 6`
` y = (y_(1) + y_(2))/(2)`
` therefore y = (6+20)/(2)`
` therefore y = (26)/(2)`
` therefore y = 13`
Coordinates of midpoint of the line segment joining P(0,6) and
Q (12 , 20) is (6, 13).
