A. (3,6)
B. (7,3)
C. (6,3)
D. (7.6)
Can someone help pls ?

Answer 1

C. (6, 3)

Explanation:

Use the midpoint formula!

Midpoint Formula

`\text{midpoint} = ((x_1 + x_2)/(2), (y_1 + y_2)/(2))`

x₁, x₂ ... x-coordinates of the endpoints

y₁, y₂ ... y-coordinates of the endpoints

Given endpoints:

(8, 0)

(4, 6)

Points are in form (x, y).

Now let's substitute the variables in the formula with our values.

`((x_1 + x_2)/(2), (y_1 + y_2)/(2))`

`((8 + 4)/(2), (0+ 6)/(2))`

`((12)/(2), (6)/(2))`

`(6, 3)`

(6, 3) is our midpoint!
