Question

If $O(0,4)$ and $P(0,-4)$, are the coordinates of the line segment $OP$ then co-ordinate of its midpoint is

• A. $(0,-4)$
• B. $(0,4)$
• C. $(-4,0)$
• D. $(0,0)$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $(0,0)$

Midpoint of a line segment having coordiantes $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

$\therefore$ Modpoint of $OP=(\frac{0+0}{2},\frac{4+-4}{2})$

$=(0,0)$
