Question

In the xy-plane, find the mid point of the line segment joining the points $(5,9)$ and $(7,11)$.

• A. $(1.5,2)$
• B. $(6,10)$
• C. $(5.5,5)$
• D. $(6,-3.5)$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $(6,10)$

Given line segment point $(5,9)$ and $(7,11)$, then mid point as per section formula:

$(x,y)=$ $(\frac{7+5}{2},\frac{11+9}{2})$

$=$ $(\frac{12}{2},\frac{20}{2})$

$=$ $(6,10)$
