Question

What's the midpoint between (-2, 7) and (6, 3)?A) (2, 5)B) (-1, 2)C) (3, 2)D) (-2, 6)

Answer 1

`A)M=(2,5)`

1) The midpoint of a line segment can be found by taking the average of both endpoints. So in this question, we can write out the following:

`\begin{gathered} M=(x_1+x_2)/(2).(y_1+y_2)/(2) \\ M=(-2+6)/(2),(7+3)/(2) \\ M=(2,5) \end{gathered}`

As we can see the midpoint divides the line segment into two halves.
