Question

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below?

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

Given 2 endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

[
`(1)/(2)`(x₁ + x₂ ),
`(1)/(2)`(y₁ + y₂ ) ]

here (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 2), thus

midpoint = [
`(1)/(2)`(3 + 2),
`(1)/(2)`(5 + 2) ] = (
`(5)/(2)`,
`(7)/(2)`) → D

Answer 2

the midpoint is at (5/2,7/2) so the answer is d.
