Question

What is the midpoint of the line segment graphed below?

A. (-9/2,1) B. (-9,-1/2) C. (-9/2,1/2) D. (-9,1/2)

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. To find the midpoint of a line segment you add the corresponding axis's values

on the x axis we have -1+-8 = -9

on the y axis we have 5 and -4 so 5+-4 = 1

2. Then you divide each value by 2

therefore -9/2 (for the x axis)

and 1/2 on the y axis

so your final answer will be ( -9/2 , 1/2 )
