Question

consider the graph. which of the following is the midpoint of the line segment? (8,12) (5.5,10) (3,2) (5.5,7) question 5

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

The mid - point formula for two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$.

Step2: Assume endpoints

Let's assume the endpoints of the line segment are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$. Without seeing the actual graph to get the coordinates of endpoints, we can't calculate exactly. But if we assume the endpoints are such that $x_1+x_2 = 11$ and $y_1 + y_2=14$. Then $\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}=5.5$ and $\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}=7$.

Answer:

$(5.5,7)$
