Question

Find the co-ordinates of mid-point of line segment joining two point s for the following(i) (5, 4) and (3, –4)(ii) (6, 0) and (0, 7)

Let the co-ordinates of mid-point be (x, y).

And, we know mid-point formula, i.e. the coordinates of mid-point of line joining (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is

⇒x = 4 and y = 0

⇒ Co – ordinates of mid-point = (4, 0)

(ii) Let the co-ordinates of mid-point be (x, y).

And, since it is a mid-point –

⇒ co-ordinates of mid-point =
