Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints.

Answer 1

To solve for the midpoint of the segment we use the equation that is given as:

(x1 + x2 / 2) , (y1 + y2 / 2)

For the points given,

(x1 + x2 / 2) , (y1 + y2 / 2)
(3+ 2 / 2) , (-5 + 9 / 2)
(5/2 , 2) or (2.5 , 2)

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: End point of a line segment are A(3, –5) and C(2, 9).

We to find the midpoint of line segment AC.

If the end point of a segment are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$, then the midpoint of that segment is

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

$Midpoint=(\frac{3+2}{2},\frac{-5+9}{2})$

On simplification, we get

$Midpoint=(\frac{5}{2},\frac{4}{2})$

$Midpoint=(2.5,2)$

The midpoint of given segment is (2.5,2). Therefore the correct option is 3.
