Question

What is the midpoint of a segment whose endpoints are (3, −1) and (−5, −3)? A. (4, −1) B. (−1, −2) C. (2, 1) D. (−2, 1)

Answer 1

Coordinates of the midpoint are
$x= \frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2} = \frac{3-5}{2} = \frac{-2}{2} = -1 x= -1$

$y= \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2} = \frac{-3-1}{2} =-2 Midpoint (-1,-2) Answer B)$
