Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (10, 13) and (−7, 7).

(8.5, 3)


(1.5, 3)


(1.5, 10)


(8.5, 10)

Answer 1

(1.5, 10)

Step-by-step explanation: I took the test

Answer 2

Let the midpoint be (x,y). We can find it by using the midpoint formula.

(x,y) = (
`(10-7)/(2)`,
`(13+7)/(2)`)

(x,y) = (
`(3)/(2)`,
`(20)/(2)`)

(x,y) = (1.5,10)

Thus, the midpoint is (1.5,10).
