Question

PLEASEEE HELP

What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints J (-6, 3) and K (4, -2)

A) (-2,5)
B) (2,1)
C) (-1,.5)
D) (-10,1)
​

Answer 1

The answer is option C

Explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

`M = ( (x1 + x2)/(2) , \: (y1 + y2)/(2) )`

From the question the points are

J (-6, 3) and K (4, -2)

The midpoint is

`M = ( ( - 6 + 4)/(2) \: , \: (3 - 2)/(2) ) \\ = ( - (2)/(2) \: , \: (1)/(2) )`

We have the final answer as

( - 1 , 0.5 )

Hope this helps you
