Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment joining the points given below.
(4, 8, 4), (7, 10, 7)
A)(5.5, 1, 5.5)
B)(1.5, 1, 5.5)
C)(1.5, 9, 5.5)
D)(1.5, 9, 1.5)
E)(5.5, 9, 5.5)

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the midpoint of a line segment, we take the average of the coordinates of the two endpoints.

Midpoint = ((4+7)/2, (8+10)/2, (4+7)/2) = (5.5, 9, 5.5)

Therefore, the best choice is E. To find the midpoint, we take the average of the x-coordinates, y-coordinates, and z-coordinates of the given points. 
Midpoint = ((4+7)/2, (8+10)/2, (4+7)/2) = (5.5, 9, 5.5) 
Therefore, the correct answer is choice E.
