Question
Find coordinates of midpoint of the segment joining points (0, 2) and (12, 14)
Solution
Let A(x1, y1) = A(0, 2), B (x2, y2) = B(12, 14)
Let the co-ordinates of the midpoint be P(x, y).
∴ By midpoint formula,
x = `(x_1 + x_2)/2 = (0 + 12)/2` = 6
y = `(y_1 + y_2)/2 = (2 + 14)/2 = 16/2` = 8
∴ The co-ordinates of the midpoint of the segment joining (0, 2) and (12, 14) are (6, 8).

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`
∴ AD = `sqrt((square)^2 + (0)^2`
∴ AD = `sqrt(square)`
∴ The length of median AD = `square`
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`.
