Question

What's the midpoint between (-2, 7) and (6, 3)?A) (2, 5)B) (-1, 2)C) (3, 2)D) (-2, 6)

Answer 1

$A)M=(2,5)$

1) The midpoint of a line segment can be found by taking the average of both endpoints. So in this question, we can write out the following:

$\begin{gathered} M=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}.\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} \\ M=\frac{-2+6}{2},\frac{7+3}{2} \\ M=(2,5) \end{gathered}$

As we can see the midpoint divides the line segment into two halves.
