Question

What are the coordinates of the midpoint of AB where A(-7, 2) and B(5, - 9)? 0 (-2.5, -1) 0 (-6, - 5.5) (1, -9) (-1, - 3.5)​

Answer 1

(-1, -3.5)

Explanation:

The coordinates of the midpoint of segment AB can be obtained via the midpoint formula:

Xmp = (Xa + Xb)/2

which in our case is: (-7 + 5)/2 = -2/2 = -1

Ymp = (Ya + Yb) / 2

in our case: (2 - 9) / 2 = -7/ 2= -3.5

Therefore select the point: (-1, -3.5) from your given list of options.
