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)
The answer is: A. (2,2)
How do you solve this one? To find the midpoint, you need to take the average of each of the coordinates,
= (2,2).
