Q. A line segment has the endpoints V(9,7)V(9,7) and W(7,7)W(7,7). Find the coordinates of its midpoint MM.\newlineWrite the coordinates as decimals or integers.\newlineM=(_,_)M = (\_,\_)
  1. Midpoint Formula: Identify the midpoint formula for a line segment.\newlineThe midpoint formula is the average of the xx-coordinates and the yy-coordinates of the endpoints.\newlineMidpoint: (x1+x22,y1+y22)\left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\right)
  2. Substitute Endpoints: Endpoints: V(9,7)V(9, 7) and W(7,7)W(7, 7)\newlineSubstitute (9,7)(9, 7) for (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (7,7)(7, 7) for (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) into the midpoint formula.\newlineM=(9+72,7+72)M = \left(\frac{9 + 7}{2} , \frac{7 + 7}{2}\right)
  3. Calculate Coordinates: Calculate the coordinates of MM. \newlineM=(9+72,7+72)M = \left(\frac{9 + 7}{2} , \frac{7 + 7}{2}\right)\newlineM=(162,142)M = \left(\frac{16}{2}, \frac{14}{2}\right)\newline$M = (\(8\), \(7\))
