SOLUTION: Show that the point (((a+b)/2),((a+b)/2)) bisects the line segment (a,b) to (b,a), a cannot equal b.

Question 13424: Show that the point (((a+b)/2),((a+b)/2)) bisects the line segment (a,b) to (b,a), a cannot equal b.

For the point to bisect the line segment it must lie equ-distant from both points.

Distance from the point (a,b) =
Distance from the point (b,a) =
Both distances are equal.
Hence the point ((a+b)/2,(a+b)/2) bisects the 2 given points
