Question

The midpoint of the line segment at (1,7) and (5,5) is A) (3,6) B) (2,6) C) (3,1) D) (2,1)

Answer 1

A) (3,6)

Explanation:

Let M be the midpoint of the line segment at (1,7) and (5,5). Then:

`\mathsf{M\left((1+5)/(2),(7+5)/(2)\right)}=\\=\mathsf{M\left((6)/(2),(12)/(2)\right)}=\\=\mathsf{M\left(3,\,6\right)}`
