Answer:-
Given Points are A(2 , 3) ; B(4 , 3).
Let P be the midpoint of the line segment AB and it's coordinates be (x , y).
We know that,
Let ,
Hence,
P(x , y) = [ (2 + 4)/2 , (3 + 3)/2 ]
→ P(x , y) = ( 6/2 , 6/2 )
→ P(x , y) = (3 , 3)
Hence,
Hence, the value of the x - coordinate of the midpoint of AB is 3.
Some Important Formulae:
• Distance between two points with coordinates (x1 , y1) ; (x2 , y2) is
• section formulae:
The point P divides the points (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) in the ratio m : n .
