Question

What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are J(3, -1) and K(9, 5)?

A. (1, 2)
B. (3, 2)
C. (3, 3)
D. (6, 2)

Answer 1

Option D. (6, 2)

Explanation:

we know that

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

`M((x1+x2)/(2),(y1+y2)/(2))`

substitute

`M((3+9)/(2),(-1+5)/(2))`

`M((12)/(2),(4)/(2))`

`M(6,2)`
