Question

question 1 of 5 select the correct answer. what is the midpoint of the given line segment?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify endpoints

The endpoints of the line - segment are (- 4,3) and (3, - 2).

Step2: Use mid - point formula

The mid - point formula for two points \((x_1,y_1)\) and \((x_2,y_2)\) is \((\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})\). Here \(x_1=-4,y_1 = 3,x_2 = 3,y_2=-2\).
Calculate the x - coordinate of the mid - point: \(\frac{-4 + 3}{2}=\frac{-1}{2}=-0.5\).
Calculate the y - coordinate of the mid - point: \(\frac{3+( - 2)}{2}=\frac{3 - 2}{2}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5\).

Answer:

C. (-0.5,0.5)
