Question

Find the midpoint of the segment between the points (15,3) and (2,−14)A. (17,−11)B. (17,11)C. (13/2,17/2)D. (17/2,−11/2)

Answer 1

mid point = (17/2 , -11/2)

Explanation

Given the following points (15, 3) and (2, -14)

`\begin{gathered} \text{mid points = (}\frac{x1\text{ + x2}}{2}\text{, }\frac{y1\text{ + y2}}{2}) \\ x1\text{ = 15, y1 = 3, x2 = 2 and y2 = -14} \\ \text{mid points = (}\frac{15\text{ + 2}}{2},\text{ }\frac{3\text{ - 14}}{2}) \\ \text{mid point = (}(17)/(2),\text{ }(-11)/(2)) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the mid point of the segment is (17/2, -11/2)
