F(8, 3) and G(10, 1) are the endpoints of a line segment. What is the midpoint M of that line segment?
Write the coordinates as decimals or integers.
To find the midpoint of a line segment, we use the midpoint formula:
Midpoint (M) = ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)
In this case, the coordinates of F are (8, 3) and the coordinates of G are (10, 1).
Plugging these values into the midpoint formula, we get:
Midpoint (M) = ((8 + 10)/2, (3 + 1)/2) = (18/2, 4/2) = (9, 2)
Therefore, the midpoint of the line segment FG is M(9, 2).
