Question

The endpoints of a line segment are at the coordinates (3, -4, 6) and (5, 7, -2). What is the midpoint of the segment?

segment?
A. (4, 1.5, 2)
B. (7, 18, -10)
C. (1, -15, 14)
D. (1.5, -2, 3)

Answer 1

To solve this, all you have to do is divide the x coordinates together, the y coordinates together, and the z coordinates together then divide by 2.

So we have (3, -4, 6) and (5, 7, -2), now let's solve it:

(3 + 5) ÷ 2 = 4
(-4 + 7) ÷ 2 = 1.5
(6 + -2) ÷ 2 = 2

So you answer is A. (4, 1.5, 2)
