Question

Find the point, which bisects line segment joining the points $P(-2,0)$ and $Q(2,5)$

• A. $(0,\frac{5}{2})$
• B. $(0,2)$
• C. $(2,0)$
• D. $(-2,0)$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $(0,\frac{5}{2})$

Given points are $P(-2,0)=(x_1,y_1)$ and $Q(2,5)=(x_2,y_2)$

Formula for Midpoint $=(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\frac{y_2+y_1}{2})$

Midpoint of $PQ=(\frac{-2+2}{2},\frac{0+5}{2})=(0,\frac{5}{2})$
