Question

If the endpoints of have the coordinates A(9, 8) and B(-1, -2), what is the midpoint of?

A. (5,3)

B. (4,5)

c. (5,5)

D. (4,3)

Answer 1

The answer is c that the correct answer

Answer 2

D. (4,3)

Step-by-step explanation

Let

`</p><p>(x_1,y_1)=A(9,8)`

and

`(x_2,y_2)=B(-1,-2)`

To find the midpoint, use the formula,

`( (x_1+x_2)/(2) , (y_1+y_2)/(2) )`

Substitutes the values to get,

`( (9 - 1)/(2) , (8 - 2)/(2) )`

Simplify

`( (8)/(2) , (6)/(2) )`

`( 4, 3)`

The correct choice is D.
