Chapter 13.5, Problem 1WE

To determine

To find: the coordinate of the midpoint of the segment

Answer to Problem 1WE

The coordinate of the midpoint is $\left(3,3\right)$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The points are $\left(0,2\right)\&\left(6,4\right)$

Calculation:

The coordinate of the midpoint

  $\begin{array}{l}M=\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)\\ M=\left(\frac{0+6}{2},\frac{2+4}{2}\right)\\ M=\left(\frac{6}{2},\frac{6}{2}\right)\\ M=\left(3,3\right)\end{array}$
