Question

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

Using the midpoint formula

midpoint of 2 points (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) is

[
`(1)/(2)`(x₁ + x₂),
`(1)/(2)`(y₁ + y₂ ) ]

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 5), then midpoint is

[
`(1)/(2)`(- 1 + 5),
`(1)/(2)`(5 + 5) ]

= (2, 5) → D
