Chapter 1: Q. 12 (page 14)

True or False The midpoint of a line segment is found by averaging the x-coordinates and averaging the y-coordinates of the endpoints.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The given statement is true.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

The given statement is:

The midpoint of a line segment is found by averaging the x-coordinates and averaging the y-coordinates of the endpoints.

We need to check whether the given statement is true or false.

02

Step 2. Determine whether the statement is true or false.

The midpoint of a line segment with endpoints x1,y1and x2,y2is:

Midpoint=x1+x22,y1+y22

It is clear that, the midpoint of a line segment is found by averaging the x-coordinates and averaging the y-coordinates of the endpoints.

03

Step 3. Conclusion.

The given statement is true.
