How to find a mid point

Topic:-Mid point of a line joining

The midpoint is the middle point of a line segment. It is equidistant from both endpoints.

Here we have 2 points given which will result a line joining ,And we have to find the mid point for this line joining by using the mid point formula


Question:-

Find the midpoint of the line joining these points(3,9)(7,11).

Solution:-

Formula to find mid point:

   x1+x2          y1+y2
  --------      ----------
    2               2


     3+7                    9+11
   ------                  ---------
     2                        2



    10                     20
   -----                 -------
     2                     2


     5                    10

So (5,10) is the mid point.
