Question

question 1 1 pts what are the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints j (-6, 3) and k (4, -2)? (-2,5) (2,1) (-10,1) (-1, .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: Identify the values of $x_1,y_1,x_2,y_2$

Here $x_1=-6,y_1 = 3,x_2=4,y_2=-2$.

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

$x=\frac{-6 + 4}{2}=\frac{-2}{2}=-1$.

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

$y=\frac{3+( - 2)}{2}=\frac{3 - 2}{2}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5$.

Answer:

D. (-1, 0.5)
