Answer :

The coordinates of the midpoint M of line CD are (17,23).

Midpoint is defined as the point lying in the middle of a line segment. It is equidistant from both the endpoints. It bisects the line segment.

In the given question, CD is the line segment with two points C and D.

Coordinates of point C is given as (24,18)

Coordinates of point D is given as (10,28)

The midpoint of a line segment can be found using the following formula:

( x , y ) = [ {( x1 + x2 ) / 2} ,  {( y1 + y2 ) / 2} ]

Using the given points in the question, we get

Point C = ( x1 , y1 )

Point D = ( x2 , y2 )

Midpoint M = ( x , y )

=> x1 = 24 , y1 = 18 , x2 = 10 , y2 = 28

Using the Midpoint formula, we get

x = ( x1 + x2 ) / 2

=> x = ( 24 + 10 ) / 2

=> x = 34 /2

=> x = 17

and,

y = ( y1 + y2 ) / 2

=> y = ( 18 + 28 ) / 2

=> y = 46 / 2

=> y = 23

Therefore, using the midpoint formula, we get the coordinates of the midpoint M of line CD as (17,23).
