Question

The endpoints of a line segment are at the coordinates (3, 4, 6) and (5, 7, -2). What Is the midpoint of the segment?

Answer 1

The reqd. mid-pt.`"M is M(4,11/2,2)"`.

Explanation:

For the given pts. `A(x_1,y_1,z_1) and B(x_2,y_2,z_2)`, the midpt.

`M` of the segment `AB` is given by,

`M((x_1+x_2)/2,(y_1+y_2)/2,(z_1+z_2)/2)`

Hence, the reqd. mid-pt.`"M is M(4,11/2,2)"`.
