Question

What is the midpoint of the line segment graphed below?10(5,9)(2-1)-1010- 10O A. (7,8)OB.OC (34)OD (710

Answer 1

`((7)/(2),4)`

Explanation:

To calculate the value of the midpoint, we use the formula of the midpoint which is the following:

`(x_m,y_m)=((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))`

Replacing and solving the midpoint:

`\begin{gathered} (x_m,y_m)=(\frac{5+2_{}}{2},\frac{9-1_{}}{2}) \\ (x_m,y_m)=(\frac{7_{}}{2},\frac{8_{}}{2})=((7)/(2),4) \end{gathered}`
