-$( - 4.1 , - 2.3 ) , ( 7.8,9.1 )$
A) $( 1.85 , - 3.4 )$
B) $( 1.85,3.4 )$
C) $( - 5.95 , - 5.7 )$
D) $( - 1.85,3.4 )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The midpoint of a line segment is found by averaging the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates of the endpoints separately. Thus, the midpoint is $\left( \frac{-4.1 + 7.8}{2}, \frac{-2.3 + 9.1}{2} \right) = \left( 1.85, 3.4 \right)$.

Find the Midpoint of the Line Segment Whose Endpoints Are (−4.1,−2.3),(7.8,9.1)( - 4.1 , - 2.3 ) , ( 7.8,9.1 )(−4.1,−2.3),(7.8,9.1)
