find the midpoint of the lone segment PQ
p(4,7) Q (5,11)
2007-03-30 04:44:29 · 10 answers · asked by Anonymous in Science & Mathematics ➔ Mathematics
midpoint = (4.5, 9) or (9/2, 9)
The average of the x's is: (4 + 5)/2 = 9/2 = 4.5
The average of the y's is: (11 + 7)/2 = 18/2 = 9

Midpoint of x value is (4+5)/2 = 9/2
Midpoint of y value is (11+7)/2 = 18/2 = 9
Midpoint is (9/2, 9) or (4.5, 9)

A midpoint of the line segment always divides the line into two equal parts.Thus the ratio of the two parts become 1:1.
Then,
m=1; n=1.
p(4,7)-------------------|--------------------q(5,11)
o(x,y)
o is the midpoint of the line, say.
Using formulae of co-ordinate geometry,
o(x)=(5*1+4*1)/(1+1)
=9/2
=4.5
o(y)=(11*1+7*1)/(1+1)
=18/2
=9
or, o(x,y)=o(4.5,9)
Therefore, the midpoint of the line segment PQ is (4.5,9).

midpoint of PQ:
=(4+5/2,7+11/2)
=(9/2,18/2)
=(9/2,9)

It's like clapping slowly with a broomstick in your hand ( I should think ).
