Given the line segment AB such that A(3,7) and
B(-5,5)
We need to find the point L such that L is midpoint
AB.
We will use the midpoint
formula.
We know that if M(Mx, My) is midpoint of
AB
==> Then Mx = (Ax+Bx)/2 and My=
(Ay+By)/2.
We will subsitute with given
points.
==> Lx = (Ax+Bx)/2 = (3-5)/2 = -2/2 =
-1
==> Ly= (Ay+By)/2 = (7+5)/2 = 12/2 =
6
Then the point L is (-1,6) such that L is midpoint
of AB.
