Question

If the endpoints of AB are A(–2, 3) and B(1, 8), which shows the correct way to determine the coordinates of point C, the midpoint of AB?

Answer 1

M=(2+1 over 2 , 3+8 over 2)
You should get your mid-point

Answer 2

we know that

The coordinates of the midpoint between two points is equal to

`M=((x1+x2)/(2), (y1+y2)/(2))`

In this problem we have

`(x1,y1)=A(-2,3)`

`(x2,y2)=B(1,8)`

Substitute the values in the formula

`M=((-2+1)/(2), (3+8)/(2))`

`M=(-(1)/(2), (11)/(2))`

therefore

the answer is the option

`M=((-2+1)/(2), (3+8)/(2))`
