Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are given W (-3,-7) and X (-8,4)

Answer 1

The coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are W (-3,-7) and X (-8,4) will be (-11/2, -3/2). Then the correct option is D.

The complete options are given below.

1. (-11/2) -(11/2)

2.(-5/2)-(3/2)

3.(-5/2-(11/2)

4. (-11/2) -(-3/2)

What is the midpoint of line segment AB?

Let C be the mid-point of the line segment AB.

A = (x₁, y₁)

B = (x₂, y₂)

C = (x, y)

Then the midpoint will be

x = (x₁ + x₂) / 2

y = (y₁ + y₂) / 2

The end points are given below.

(-3, -7) and (-8, 4)

We have

(x₁, y₁) = (-3, -7)

(x₂, y₂) = (-8, 4)

Then the mid-point will be

x = (- 3 - 8) / 2

x = -11 / 2

y = (-7 + 4) / 2

y = -3/2

Then the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are W (-3,-7) and X (-8,4) will be (-11/2, -3/2).

Then the correct option is D.
