Find midpoint

Question

P coordinate(-5,4)

q coordinate (5,1)

find the midpoint

now find the equation of the line connecting p and q in slope intercept form

Answer 1

Step 1:

The coordinate points are and .

Find the mid point.

Substitute and in the formula of mid point.

The mid point of the coordinates .

Step 2:

Find the slope.

Substitute and in the formula of slope.

Slope is

Write the slope intercept form.

By using mid point and slope value to find the line equation of the slope intercept form.

General form of the slope intercept form is

Substitute and in the slope intercept form.

The line equation of the slope intercept form is .

Solution:

The mid point of the coordinates .

The line equation of the slope intercept form is .
