Question
Find the coordinates of midpoint of segment joining (22, 20) and (0, 16)
Solution
Let A(x1, y1) = A(22, 20), B(x2, y2) = B(0, 16)
Let the co-ordinates of the midpoint be P(x, y).
∴ By midpoint formula,
x = `(x_1 + x_2)/2`
= `(22 + 0)/2`
= 11
y = `(y_1 + y_2)/2`
= `(20 + 16)/2`
= `36/2`
= 18
∴ The co-ordinates of the midpoint of the segment joining (22, 20) and (0, 16) are (11, 18).

Given: A`square` and P`square`. Let B (x, y)
The centre of the circle is the midpoint of the diameter.
∴ Mid point formula,
`square = (square + x)/square`
⇒ `square = square` + x
⇒ x = `square - square`
⇒ x = – 6
and `square = (square + y)/2`
⇒ `square` + y = 0
⇒ y = 3
Hence coordinates of B is (– 6, 3).
