Question

What are the coordinates of the midpoint of a line segment whose endpoints are (2, 6) and (- 4, 8) ?

A (- 2, 14)
B.(2, 14)
C.(- 2, 7)
D.(- 1, 7)

Answer 1

Answer: c

Explanation:

Answer 2

midpoint of a line segment is ( -1,7)

Explanation:

midpoint of a line segment is ((x1+X2) /2, (y1+y2)/2)

(2, 6) and (- 4, 8)

(x1,y1) (X2,y2)

= ( 2-4/2 , 6+8/2)

=( -2/2, 14/2)

=( -1, 7)
