Question

The midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (-1, 4) and (5, 4) is (2, 4). True or False

Answer 1

The midpoint between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by:

`((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))`

Plugging the endpoints given we have:

`((-1+5)/(2),(4+4)/(2))=((4)/(2),(8)/(2))=(2,4)`

Therefore, the midpoint is (2,4) and the statement is true.
