Answer:
The coordinates of the point one half the distance is (6,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we want to calculate the coordinates one half of the line segment.
This in another way simply means the coordinates of the midpoint of that segment;
Mathematically;
we proceed with this using the midpoint formula
(x,y) = (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2
From the question (x1,y1) = (5,-6) while (x2,y2) = (7,8)
let’s say
(x,y) = (5 + 7)/2 , (-6 + 8)/2
(x,y) = 12/2, 2/2
(x,y) = (6,1)
