Q. T(9,10)T(9,10) and U(5,0)U(5,0) are the endpoints of a line segment. What is the midpoint MM of that line segment?\newlineWrite the coordinates as decimals or integers.\newlineM=(_,_)M = (\_,\_)
  1. Identify Midpoint Formula: Identify the midpoint formula for a line segment.\newlineThe midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1,y1)(x_1,y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2,y_2) is given by the formula:\newlineMidpoint: (x1+x22,y1+y22)\left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\right)
  2. Apply Formula to Endpoints: Apply the midpoint formula to the given endpoints T(9,10)T(9,10) and U(5,0)U(5,0). Substitute (9,10)(9, 10) for (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (5,0)(5, 0) for (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) into the midpoint formula. M=(9+52,10+02)M = \left(\frac{9 + 5}{2} , \frac{10 + 0}{2}\right)
  3. Calculate Midpoint Coordinates: Calculate the coordinates of the midpoint MM. \newlineM=((9+5)/2,(10+0)/2)M = ((9 + 5)/2 , (10 + 0)/2)\newlineM=(14/2,10/2)M = (14/2 , 10/2)\newlineM=(7,5)M = (7, 5)
