Answer 1

Good morning ☕️

Answer:

A.(3,5/2)

Explanation:

RULE:________________________________________

Th midpoint of points A(x1 ,y1) and B(x2 , y2) is the point M of coordinates:

`((x_1+x_2)/(2) , (y_1+y_2)/(2) )`

_________________________________

let’s apply the rule

A(-1, 2).

B(7, 3)

then

`M((-1+7)/(2) , (2+3)/(2) )=((6)/(2) , (5)/(2) )=(3 , (5)/(2) )`
