Question

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below? 

Answer 1

B. (2, -3). The X value remains the same. -7 + 4 = -3. The Y value in the center of the existing two points is -3

Answer 2

Answer:

option A

$(2,-\frac{3}{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the midpoint M between two points is equal to

$M (\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

In this problem we have

$(x1,y1)=(2,-7)$

$(x2,y2)=(2,4)$

substitute the values

$M (\frac{2+2}{2},\frac{-7+4}{2})$

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

$M (2,-\frac{3}{2})$
