Question

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below O A (-7/2, 3/2) O B. (-7,3) O c. (-7/2, 3) O D. (-7,3/2)

Answer 1

B.

Explanation:

The midpoint of a line segment is found by taking the average of the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates of the endpoints of the segment.

The midpoint of segment AB can be found as follows:

Midpoint of AB = ((-7/2 + -7)/2, (3/2 + 3)/2) = (-7, 3)

Since the midpoint of AB is the same as point B, we can conclude that the midpoint of segment AB is (-7, 3).
