Question

Find the midpoint of a line segment whose endpoints are (4.-10) and (6, 12) 10 points

a) (-1,5)
b) none of these
c) (1/2, 2)
d) (-4,4)
e) (5, 1)

Answer 1

The midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (4, -10) and (6, 12) is calculated using the midpoint formula to get the correct answer (5, 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (4, -10) and (6, 12), you can use the midpoint formula which is ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2). Applying the formula, we get:

Midpoint = ((4 + 6)/2, (-10 + 12)/2) = (10/2, 2/2) = (5, 1).

Therefore, the correct answer is e) (5, 1).
