Find the midpoint of the line segment with the endpoints $$ A $$ and $$ B $$. $$ A(2,10) ; B(8,6) $$ The midpoint of the line segment is $$ \square $$. (Type an ordered pair.)

Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To find the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints $$ A(x_1, y_1) $$ and $$ B(x_2, y_2) $$, you can use the **Midpoint Formula**:

$$
\text{Midpoint} \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right)
$$

Given the endpoints:
- $$ A(2, 10) $$
- $$ B(8, 6) $$

**Step 1: Apply the Midpoint Formula**

$$
\text{Midpoint} = \left( \frac{2 + 8}{2}, \frac{10 + 6}{2} \right)
$$

**Step 2: Calculate the Coordinates**

$$
\text{Midpoint} = \left( \frac{10}{2}, \frac{16}{2} \right) = (5, 8)
$$

**Answer:**

The midpoint of the line segment is $$ \boxed{(5,\ 8)} $$.
The midpoint of the line segment is (5, 8).

Find the midpoint of the line segment with the endpoints \( A \) and \( B \). \( A(2,10) ; B(8,6) \) The midpoint of the line segment is \( \square \). (Type an ordered pair.)
