Find the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are the given points.
-$( 5.3,4.7 )$ and $( 7.2 , - 9.7 )$
A) $( - 0.95,7.2 )$
B) $( 5 , - 1.25 )$
C) $( 6.25,7.2 )$
D) $( 6.25 , - 2.5 )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The midpoint of a line segment is found by averaging the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates of the endpoints. Thus, the midpoint is $\left( \frac{5.3 + 7.2}{2}, \frac{4.7 - 9.7}{2} \right) = (6.25, -2.5)$.

Find the Midpoint of the Line Segment Whose Endpoints Are (5.3,4.7)( 5.3,4.7 )(5.3,4.7)
