Question

question 3 of 10 what is the midpoint of the segment shown below? (-2,3) (10,3)

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: Identify the coordinates

Here, $x_1=-2,y_1 = 3,x_2=10,y_2 = 3$.

Step3: Calculate the x - coordinate of the mid - point

$x=\frac{-2 + 10}{2}=\frac{8}{2}=4$.

Step4: Calculate the y - coordinate of the mid - point

$y=\frac{3+3}{2}=\frac{6}{2}=3$.

Answer:

D. $(4,3)$
