To calculate the mid point formula
Answer to Problem 72HP
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
One of the end point is (0,0)
Formula used:
Mid point formula is,
Calculation:
Since one of the point is (0,0), therefore,mid points should be half of the other point. That is, the points should be
for example, AB is a line segment with points, A(0,0) and B(5,6)
using the mid point method, substituting the values,
So,
On solving,
Using the method which has been assumed, values of midpoint are
On solving,
Hence, the assumed method is correct.
and hence it works.
