Question
Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the following pair of point :
(a+b, b-a) and (a-b, a+b)
Solution
Coordinates of R are ,
O (x , y) = O`(("a" + "b" + "a" - "b")/2 , ("b - a + a + b")/2)`
= O (a , b)

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)`
