Question

What is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (-5.5, -6.1) and (-0.5,9.1)?

Options:
A: (-3, 1.5)
B: (-6, 3)
C: (-6, 1.5)
D: (-3, 3)

Answer 1

A: (-3, 1.5)

Explanation:

((-5.5, -6.1) + (-0.5, 9.1))/2 = (-6, 3)/2 = (-3, 1.5)

The midpoint coordinates are the average of the two end point coordinates. Add them up and divide by 2.
