Question

The midpoint of the line segment at (1,7) and (5,5) is A) (3,6) B) (2,6) C) (3,1) D) (2,1)

Answer 1

Answer:

A) (3,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M be the midpoint of the line segment at (1,7) and (5,5). Then:

$\mathsf{M\left(\dfrac{1+5}{2},\dfrac{7+5}{2}\right)}=\\=\mathsf{M\left(\dfrac{6}{2},\dfrac{12}{2}\right)}=\\=\mathsf{M\left(3,\,6\right)}$
