Given:
The end points of a line segment are (4,0) and (12,0).
To find:
The midpoint of the line segment.
Solution:
Midpoint formula:
[tex]Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)[/tex]
The end points of a line segment are (4,0) and (12,0). So, the midpoint of the line segment is:
[tex]Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{4+12}{2},\dfrac{0+0}{2}\right)[/tex]
[tex]Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{16}{2},\dfrac{0}{2}\right)[/tex]
[tex]Midpoint=\left(8,0\right)[/tex]
Therefore, the midpoint of the given line segment is (8,0).
