Determine the distance between each pair of points. Then determine the coordinates of the midpoint M of the segment joining the pair of points.
A(4,7,9) and B(-3,8,-8)

Respuesta :

The midpoint is at (11/2, 15/2, 1/2)

In the given statement is

To find the midpoint of the line segment joining the pair of points

A(4,7,9) and B(-3,8,-8)

Midpoint:

The coordinates of the midpoint of a line segment are the average of the coordinates of the end points.

m = (A +B)/2

If we are given three points and we wish to find the midpoint of those points, we need to use the midpoint formula m =(  [tex]\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2} , \frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2} ,\frac{z_{1}+z_{2} }{2}[/tex] )

where:

(x1 , y1 ,z1) are the coordinates of the first point:

(x2 , y2 , z2) are the coordinates of the second point:

Now, We are given the three points A(4,7,9) and B(-3,8,-8)

Solving for the midpoint , we have,

m = ([tex]\frac{4+7}{2} ,\frac{7+8}{2} , \frac{9+(-8) }{2}[/tex])

m = (11/2, 15/2, 1/2)

Therefore, the midpoint is at ( 11/2, 15/2, 1/2)
