Question

What is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (5, -2) and (1, -6)? a) (2,-2) b) (3,-4) c) (3,-6) d) (4,-3)

Answer 1

First find the mean of 5 and 1. That'd be the x-coordinate of the midpoint.

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow \large {5 + 1 \over 2} }\)

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow \large {6 \over 2}}\)

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow 3 }\)

Now find the mean of -2 and -6. That'd be the y-coordinate of the midpoint.

Can you manage from now on?
