Question

The mid-point of the straight line joining A(4,-3), B(6,-2) is located at C.

(a) Calculate the coordinates of C.

(b) Verify your result by calculating the distances AC and BC and showing they are equal.

I HAVE COMPLETED A BUT CAN'T DO DO B!!!!

Answer 1

C = (5,-5/2)

AC^2 = (5-4)^2 + (-5/2+3)^2 = 1 + 1/4 = 5/4
CB^2 = (6-5)^2 + (-2+5/2)^2 = 1 + 1/4 = 5/4
