Question

If AB is plotted on a coordinate plane with A(11, -4) and B(-3, 6), what is the coordinate of the midpoint of AB?

A) (4, 1)
B) (7.5, 1)
C) (2, 1)
D) (5, 1)

Answer 1

The midpoint of the line segment AB with endpoints A(11, -4) and B(-3, 6) is (4, 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Given A(11, -4) and B(-3, 6), the x-coordinate of the midpoint is (11 + (-3))/2 = 8/2 = 4, and the y-coordinate of the midpoint is (-4 + 6)/2 = 2/2 = 1.

Therefore, the coordinate of the midpoint of AB is (4, 1), which corresponds to option A.
