Question

What is the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints at (3,-2) and (1,7)? A. (2,-9/2) B. (2,-5/2) C. (2,5/2) D. (2,9/2)

Answer 1

The Midpoints of the line segment is (2, 5/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The line is defined by starting and ending coordinates.

As given in the question starting coordinates are given as (3,-2) and the ending coordinates are provided as (1,7)

The midpoint of the life segment-

The midpoint of the line can be found by individually finding of each “x” and “y” coordinate from both ends.

Thus, x coordinate of the midpoint is (3+1)/2= 2

Similarly, the Y coordinate of the midpoint is (-2+7)/2 = 5/2

Hence the Midpoint of the life segment- (2, 5/2)
