Answer:

(4, 4.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂)is given by,

Midpoint = {(x₁+x₁)/2 ,(y₁+y₂)}

Now for the points given, P and Q, the midpoint is:

midpoint of PQ = {(4+4)/2, (1+8)/2}

= (8/2, 9/2)

= (4, 4.5)

Answer:

(4, 4.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following two end points of a line segment PQ and we are to find the coordinates of its mid point:

P (4, 1) and Q (4, 8)

We know the formula for the mid point:

Mid-point = [tex] ( \frac {x_1 + x_2 } {2} , \frac {y_1 + y_2} {2} )[/tex]

Si substituting the given values in the above formula to get:

Mid-point of PQ = [tex](\frac{4+4}{2} , \frac{1+8}{2} ) = (\frac{8}{2} , \frac{9}{2}) =[/tex]

Mid point of PR = (4, 4.5)
