Question

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below ?

Answer 1

Hey there! :)

Answer:

(5, 1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the midpoint formula is:

$(x_m, y_m) = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Plug in the point values to solve for the midpoint:

$(\frac{5+5}{2}, \frac{-3+4}{2} )$

Simplify:

$(\frac{10}{2}, \frac{1}{2})$

(5, 1/2) is the midpoint.

Answer 2

Answer:

Midpoint: B. (5, 1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the x-coordinates of the endpoints and divide by 2.

Add the y-coordinates of the endpoints and divide by 2.

x: (5 + 5)/2 = 10/2 = 5

y: (4 + (-3))/2 = 1/2

Midpoint (5, 1/2)
