Question

Midpoint: What is the midpoint between the two points A(0, 6) and B(2, 20)?

Options:
A) (0, 6)
B) (1, 13)
C) (2, 20)
D) (3, 26)

Answer 1

The midpoint between points A(0, 6) and B(2, 20) is calculated using the midpoint formula and the correct answer is (1, 13), which corresponds to option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating the Midpoint

To find the midpoint between two points A(0, 6) and B(2, 20), you apply the midpoint formula, which is
((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2). Apply the coordinates of points A and B into the formula to get
((0 + 2)/2, (6 + 20)/2) = (1, 13). Therefore, the correct answer is
(1, 13), which in the provided options is B) (1, 13).
