Example Question #1 :Properties Of Lines
Give the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are the intercepts of the line of the equation
.
None of the other choices gives the correct response.
Thex-intercept andy-intercept of the line of an equation can be found by substituting 0 forand, respectively, as follows:
x-intercept:
Substitute and simplify:
Solve forby dividing by 2 on both sides:
Thex-intercept of the line is located at
They-intercept can be found by settingand solving forin a similar fashion:
They-intercept is located at.
The midpoint of a line segment, given its endpointsand, is located at
;
substituting accordingly,
The midpoint is located at.
Example Question #96 :Measurement And Geometry
What is the midpoint of the line segment created by the pointsand?
The midpoint of the line segment between two points
and
is given by the formula
.
Thus, since the line segment is generated by
and
应用the midpoint formula we have
as the midpoint.
