B. (3.2, 3)
C. (4,3)
D. (4.2,3)

Answer 1

(4,3)

Let the points be A and B

A(-2,3)---->(X1,y1)

B(10,3)---->(x2,y2)

Now,

`midpoint = ( (x1 + x2)/(2) \: </em></strong><strong><em>,</em></strong><strong><em> (y1 + y2)/(2) ) \\ = ( ( - 2 + 10)/(2) \:</em></strong><strong><em>,</em></strong><strong><em> (3 + 3)/(2) ) \\ = ( (8)/(2) </em></strong><strong><em>,</em></strong><strong><em>(6)/(2) ) \\ = (4 </em></strong><strong><em>,</em></strong><strong><em>\: 3)`

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

Answer 2

(4,3)-C

Explanation:

this is a horizontal line so...

you need to keep the same y-values and find the average of the x-values

`(-2+10)/(2) = (8)/(2) = 4`

this means that the x-coordinate is 4

and the y-coordinate is 3

(4,3)

Hope this helped

have a good day
