A. (1, - 3/2)
B. (2, - 3/2)
C. (1,-3)
D. (2, -3)

Answer 1

A. (1, - 3/2)

Explanation:

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

A. (1, - 3/2)

Explanation:

The coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the endpoint coordinates.

M = (A +B)/2

M = ((1, 2) +(1, -5))/2 = (1+1, 2-5)/2 = (2, -3)/2

M = (1, -3/2) . . . . . matches choice A
