Question

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below?

Answer 1

The midpoint of the segment shown below is (1, -3/2). Option A) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two end points of the line segments are (1,2) and (1,-5).

step 1 :

Midpoint formula = ((x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 +y 2)/2)

step 2 :

(x1, y1) = (1, 2)

(x2, y2) = (1, -5)

step 3 :

Substitute the values in the midpoint formula,

Midpoint = ((1 + 1)/2 , (2 -5)/2)

                = ((2/2) , (-3/2))

                = (1, -3/2)
