Question

# 17 Q. Find the midpoint of AB.

Answer 1

The answer is C, the coordinates (1,1).

Answer 2

The midpoint of a line segment is the average of the two endpoints and can be calculated as:


`( ( x_(1) + x_(2) )/(2) , ( y_(1) + y_(2) )/(2) )`

Coordinates of A are (-2, 0) and coordinates of B are (4, 2). Using the values in above formula, we get the coordinates of midpoint as:


`( (-2+4)/(2) , (0+2)/(2) ) \\ \\ =(1,1)`

Thus, the option third gives the correct answer
