Question

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below ?

Answer 1

Midpoint: B. (5, 1/2)

Explanation:

Add the x-coordinates of the endpoints and divide by 2.

Add the y-coordinates of the endpoints and divide by 2.

x: (5 + 5)/2 = 10/2 = 5

y: (4 + (-3))/2 = 1/2

Midpoint (5, 1/2)

Answer 2

Hey there! :)

Answer:

(5, 1/2)

Explanation:

Recall that the midpoint formula is:

`(x_m, y_m) = ((x_1+x_2)/(2), (y_1+y_2)/(2))`

Plug in the point values to solve for the midpoint:

`((5+5)/(2), (-3+4)/(2) )`

Simplify:

`((10)/(2), (1)/(2))`

(5, 1/2) is the midpoint.
