Question

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below?

Answer 1

Answer:

(C) (2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The mid point of the line segment is defined as the point on that line that divides the line segment in to two congruent segments and is denoted as:

Mid point=$(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})$

Now, the line segment having the points (-2,4) and (6,-4) has the mid point:

Mid point= $(\frac{-2+6}{2},\frac{4-4}{2})$

=$(2,0)$

Hence, the mid point of the given line segment is: (2,0)

Therefore, Option C is correct.
