Question

Find the midpoint of the segment between the points (1,1) and (4,−16).

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint formula is

$M=(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2})$

Filling in our coordinates where they go gives us:

$M=(\frac{1+4}{2},\frac{1-16}{2})$ so

$M=(\frac{5}{2},\frac{-15}{2})$
