Question

Point A is at (−1,−9) and point B is at (2,4). What is the midpoint of line segment AB ?

a) 1/2, -5/2
b) 1/2, 5/2
c) -1/2,-5/2
d)-1/2, 5/2

Answer 1

The midpoint of the line segment AB is located at (1/2, -5/2).

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of a line segment can be found by taking the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates of the two endpoints.

For the given points A(-1,-9) and B(2,4), the midpoint is ((-1+2)/2, (-9+4)/2), which simplifies to (1/2, -5/2).

Therefore, the correct answer is a) 1/2, -5/2.
