Question

What is the midpoint of a segment whose endpoints are (3, −1) and (−5, −3)? A. (4, −1) B. (−1, −2) C. (2, 1) D. (−2, 1)

Answer 1

Coordinates of the midpoint are

`x= (x_(1)+x_(2))/(2) = (3-5)/(2) = (-2)/(2) = -1 x= -1`


`y= (y_(1)+y_(2))/(2) = (-3-1)/(2) =-2 Midpoint (-1,-2) Answer B)`
