Question

select the correct answer. what is the midpoint between points a and b? a -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 b 3 4 5 a. -0.875 b. 1.75 c. 3.875 d. -1.75

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the coordinates

Point A is at - 4 and point B is at 2.5.

Step2: Apply mid - point formula

The mid - point formula between two points $x_1$ and $x_2$ is $\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}$. Here $x_1=-4$ and $x_2 = 2.5$. So, $\frac{-4 + 2.5}{2}=\frac{-1.5}{2}=-0.75$.

Answer:

A. - 0.75
