What is the midpoint of the segment shown below ?

(1,-1) and (4,-6)

midpoint:

x = (1 + 4)/2 = 5/2

y = (-1 - 6)/2 = -7/2

Midpoint (5/2, -7/2)

Answer

D.

(5/2, -7/2)

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given length of a line segment on coordinate plane. We are asked to find the coordinates of midpoint of given segment.

The midpoint (M) of a line segment with endpoints and can be found using formula:

.

Upon substituting coordinates of our given points in above formula, we will get:

Therefore, the midpoint of our given segment is and option D is the correct choice.
