The mid-point of the line segment joining $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is

Question

Accepted Answer

A. $\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\ \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

1. The mid-point divides the segment in the ratio 1:1.
2. Its coordinates are the averages: $\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\ \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$.
3. This is a special case of the section formula.
