Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are (0, 1/2 ) and (0, 3/4).

A: 0,2/3
B: 0,5/8
C: 0, 1 1/4

Answer 1

B: 0, 5/8

Explanation:

First, add the abcissas (x coordinates).

0 + 0 = 0

Then, divide the result by 2.

0 divided by 2 = 0

Then, add the ordinates (y coordinates).

1/2 + 3/4 = 1 1/4

Then, divide the result by 2.

1 1/4 divided by 2 = 5/8

The midpoint is 0, 5/8
