Question

1. what is the midpoint of the points (-7, 5) and (3, -5)?

(0,0)
(-2,0)
(-2,1)
(-5,0)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

The mid - point formula for two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$.

Step2: Identify the values of $x_1,y_1,x_2,y_2$

Here $x_1=-7,y_1 = 5,x_2=3,y_2=-5$.

Step3: Calculate the x - coordinate of the mid - point

$x=\frac{-7 + 3}{2}=\frac{-4}{2}=-2$.

Step4: Calculate the y - coordinate of the mid - point

$y=\frac{5+( - 5)}{2}=\frac{5 - 5}{2}=0$.

Answer:

B. (-2,0)
