Question

The midpoint of the line segment joining the point $(-3,-3)$ to the origin is

• A. $(-0.5,-0.5)$
• B. $(-1,-1)$
• C. $(-1.5,-1.5)$
• D. $(-2,-2)$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $(-1.5,-1.5)$


The midpoint of this line segment is nothing but the average value of the two points that form the line segment.

Hence, $midpoint=(\frac{-3+0}{2},\frac{-3+0}{2})$

$midpoint=(-1.5,-1.5)$
