Question

Marlee has to find the point that divides the line segment between the points P(-6, 10) and R(2, -4) exactly in half. Marlee states: "the answer is M(-2, 3). Since a midpoint divides a line segment into 2 equal parts, I used the midpoint formula." Is this a logical argument?
Please choose one of these choices.:

A. Yes; using the midpoint formula will determine the middle point of a line segment.
B. No; she should have used the distance formula.
C. No; she should have used the quadratic formula.
D. No; she should have used the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b.

Answer 1

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use the points P(-6,10) and R(2,-4) and put them it the midpoint formula you would get (-2,3) therefore it would be logical to use it
