In the standard (x,y) coordinate plane, what are the coordinates of the midpoint of a line segment whose endpoints are \((-3,0)\) and \((7,4)\)?
A. (2,2)
B. (2,4)
C. (5,2)
D. (5,4)
E. (5,5)
Answer (2)
A ( x A ; y A ) ; B ( x B ; y B ) mi d p o in t A B : ( 2 x A + x B ; 2 y A + y B ) − − − − − − − − − − − − − − − − − − − ( − 3 ; 0 ) ; ( 7 ; 4 ) mi d p o in t : ( 2 − 3 + 7 ; 2 0 + 4 ) → ( 2 4 ; 2 4 ) → ( 2 ; 2 ) A n s w er : A
The coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (-3, 0) and (7, 4) are (2, 2). This is calculated using the midpoint formula. The correct answer is option A.
