Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with endpoints at A(3, 11) and B(7,3).

(5,7)
(7,5)
(3,9)
(9,3)

Answer 1

The answer is

(5,7)

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) )`

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

A(3, 11) and B(7,3)

The midpoint is

`M = ( (3 + 7)/(2) \: , \: (11 + 3)/(2) ) \\ = ( (10)/(2) \: , \: (14)/(2) )`

We have the final answer as

( 5 , 7)
