Answer:
(4, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
A (5,7) and B (3,1)
To find the midpoint of a line segment, use this formula.
[tex]midpoint =(\frac{x^1+x^2}{2} ,\frac{y^1+y^2}{2} )[/tex]
(x1, y1) = coordinates of first point
(x^2, x^2) = coordinates of second point.
Basically, you add the coordinates x^1 and x^2, then divide the sum by 2. That would be your first coordinate.
Next, you add y^1 and y^2, then divide the sum by 2. That would be your second coordinate.
[tex]midpoint-(\frac{5+3}{2} ,\frac{7+1}{2})[/tex]
[tex]midpoint = (4, 4)[/tex]
Therefore, the midpoint of segment AB is (4,4).
