The midpoint of the segment shown below is (1, -3/2). Option A) is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The two end points of the line segments are (1,2) and (1,-5).
step 1 :
Midpoint formula = ((x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 +y 2)/2)
step 2 :
(x1, y1) = (1, 2)
(x2, y2) = (1, -5)
step 3 :
Substitute the values in the midpoint formula,
Midpoint = ((1 + 1)/2 , (2 -5)/2)
= ((2/2) , (-3/2))
= (1, -3/2)
