Question

What is the midpoint of a line segment with the endpoints (-4,-3) and (7,-5)?O A. (-3.5, 1)O B. (1.5,-4)O c. (-4,1.5)O D. (1.-3.5)SUBMIT

Answer 1

SOLUTION:

Step 1:

In this question, we are given the following:

What is the midpoint of a line segment with the endpoints (-4,-3) and (7,-5)?

A. (-3.5, 1)

B. (1.5,-4)

C. (-4,1.5)

D. (1.-3.5)

Step 2:

The midpoint of a line segment with the endpoints (-4,-3) and (7,-5) is:

$\begin{gathered} (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}) \\ =\text{ (}\frac{-4+7}{2},\frac{-3+(-5)}{2}) \\ =\text{ (}\frac{3}{2},\frac{-8}{2}) \\ \end{gathered}$

$=\text{ (1. 5 , -4 ) --- OPTION B}$
