Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints. (10, 6) and (3, 1).

A) (6.5, 3.5)
B) (5, 3.5)
C) (7, 4)
D) (8.5, 3.5)

Answer 1

The midpoint of the segment with endpoints (10, 6) and (3, 1) is (6.5, 3.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of a segment can be found by using the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates of the two endpoints. To find the midpoint of the segment with endpoints (10, 6) and (3, 1), we add the x-coordinates and divide by 2 to get 6.5, and then add the y-coordinates and divide by 2 to get 3.5. Therefore, the midpoint is (6.5, 3.5).
