Find coordinates of the midpoint of a segment joining point A(–1, 1) and point B(5, –7)
Solution: Suppose A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2)
x1 = –1, y1 = 1 and x2 = 5, y2 = –7
Using midpoint formula,
∴ Coordinates of midpoint of segment AB
= `((x_1 + x_2)/2, (y_1+ y_2)/2)`
= `(square/2, square/2)`
∴ Coordinates of the midpoint = `(4/2, square/2)`
∴ Coordinates of the midpoint = `(2, square)`
उत्तर
Suppose A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2)
x1 = –1, y1 = 1 and x2 = 5, y2 = –7
Using midpoint formula,
∴ Coordinates of midpoint of segment AB
= `((x_1 + x_2)/2, (y_1+ y_2)/2)`
= `((-1 + 5)/2, (1 - 7)/2)`
∴ Coordinates of the midpoint = `(4/2, (-6)/2)`
∴ Coordinates of the midpoint = (2, – 3)

Solution:
Here A(–1, 1), B(5, – 3), C(3, 5) and suppose D(x, y) are coordinates of point D.
Using midpoint formula,
x = `(5 + 3)/2`
∴ x = `square`
y = `(-3 + 5)/2`
∴ y = `square`
Using distance formula,
∴ AD = `sqrt((4 - square)^2 + (1 - 1)^2`

Find the coordinates of point P where P is the midpoint of a line segment AB with A(–4, 2) and B(6, 2).
Solution :
Suppose, (–4, 2) = (x1, y1) and (6, 2) = (x2, y2) and co-ordinates of P are (x, y).
∴ According to the midpoint theorem,
x = `(x_1 + x_2)/2 = (square + 6)/2 = square/2 = square`
y = `(y_1 + y_2)/2 = (2 + square)/2 = 4/2 = square`
∴ Co-ordinates of midpoint P are `square`.
