Question

Find the midpoint of the segment between the points (17,1) and (−2,8)

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are (17,1) and (−2,8).

We need to find the midpoint of given points.

Formula for midpoint :

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

The midpoint of the segment between the points (17,1) and (−2,8) is

$Midpoint=(\frac{17+(-2)}{2},\frac{1+8}{2})$

$Midpoint=(\frac{15}{2},\frac{9}{2})$

The midpoint of the segment between the points (17,1) and (−2,8) is $(\frac{15}{2},\frac{9}{2})$

Therefore the correct option is C.

Answer 2

Answer:

C. (15/2,9/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint of two points

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

               = (17+-2)/2, (1+8)/2

               = 15/2, 9/2
