AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ has endpoints at A(2,6) and B(6,8). What are the coordinates of the midpoint?
To find the coordinates of the midpoint, we can use the midpoint formula.
The midpoint formula states that the coordinates of the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2).
In this case, the coordinates of point A are (2, 6) and the coordinates of point B are (6, 8).
Using the midpoint formula, we can find the coordinates of the midpoint as follows:
Midpoint x-coordinate: (2 + 6)/2 = 8/2 = 4
Midpoint y-coordinate: (6 + 8)/2 = 14/2 = 7
Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint of AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ are (4, 7).
