Question

given that the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are endpoints of a line segment, which of the following statements is true? choose the correct statement. a. the x - coordinate of the midpoint of the line segment can be found by taking the sum of x2 and x1. b. the x - coordinate of the midpoint of the line segment can be found by first taking the sum of x2 and x1 and then dividing the sum by two. c. the x - coordinate of the midpoint of the line segment can be found by taking the difference between x2 and x1. d. the x - coordinate of the midpoint of the line segment can be found by first taking the difference between x2 and x1 and then dividing the difference by two.

Explanation:

Answer:

C. The x - coordinate of the midpoint of the line segment can be found by first taking the sum of \(x_2\) and \(x_1\) and then dividing the sum by two
