Question

What is the midpoint of (2, 7) and (4, 3)?

• A. $(3,5)$
• B. $(1,2)$
• C. $(2,1)$
• D. $(5,3)$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $(3,5)$

The midpoint of the points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by
$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

$\therefore$ The midpoint of (2, 7) and (4, 3)
$=(\frac{2+4}{2},\frac{7+3}{2})$
$=(\frac{6}{2},\frac{10}{2})$
$=(3,5)$
