Find the coordinates of the midpoint of LB if L(8, 5) and B(-6, 2)

The coordinates of the midpoint of LB are (1, 3.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of the midpoint of a segment its endpoints are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is

Let us use this rule to solve the question

∵ M is the midpoint of segment LB

∵ The coordinates of point L are (8, 5)

∴ x1 = 8 and y1 = 5

∵ The coordinates of point B are (-6, 2)

∴ x2 = -6 and y2 = 2

→ Substitute these values in the rule of the mid point above

∵

→ Remember (+)(-) = (-)

∴

∴

∴ M = (1, 3.5)

∴ The coordinates of the midpoint of LB are (1, 3.5)

constant acceleration- a

constant velocity- c

no velocity or acceleration- b

explanation:

for body moving with a constant acceleration, the rate of change of displacement changes over time. this is proven by the increasing gradient of the curve (a) against time.

a body that is moving at constant velocity covers equal distances over equal periods of time, thus the straight line with a constant gradient c.

a stationary body   covers no displacement as time elapses. thus the flat line with   zero gradient.
