Using the Midpoint Formula

Question 1 • SC-Geometry with Statistics B

A vertical line segment has endpoints J(–4, 5) and K(–4, 1). What is the midpoint?

Answer
A
(–4, –3)
B
(–4, 3)
C
(4, –3)
D
(4, 3)

Explanation

To find the midpoint, average the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates separately. The x-coordinate is (−4 + −4) ÷ 2 = −4, and the y-coordinate is (5 + 1) ÷ 2 = 3. So the midpoint is (−4, 3), choice B.
