If the endpoints of AB are A(–2, 3) and B(1, 8), which shows the correct way to determine the coordinates of point C, the midpoint of AB?

If the endpoints of AB are A2 3 and B1 8 which shows the correct way to determine the coordinates of point C the midpoint of AB class=

Respuesta :

M=(2+1 over 2 , 3+8 over 2)
You should get your mid-point

we know that

The coordinates of the midpoint between two points is equal to

[tex]M=(\frac{x1+x2}{2}, \frac{y1+y2}{2})[/tex]

In this problem we have

[tex](x1,y1)=A(-2,3)[/tex]

[tex](x2,y2)=B(1,8)[/tex]

Substitute the values in the formula

[tex]M=(\frac{-2+1}{2}, \frac{3+8}{2})[/tex]

[tex]M=(-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{11}{2})[/tex]

therefore

the answer is the option

[tex]M=(\frac{-2+1}{2}, \frac{3+8}{2})[/tex]
