Partitioning a Line Segment

Question 3 • TX-Geometry CR

What is the midpoint of the line segment with the endpoints J(–9, –4) and K(7, 8)?

Answer
A
(–5, –1)
B
(–2, 1)
C
(–1, 2)
D
(3, 5)

Explanation

Use the midpoint formula: average the x-coordinates and average the y-coordinates. For J(–9, –4) and K(7, 8), the midpoint is ((–9 + 7)/2, (–4 + 8)/2) = (–1, 2). Therefore, the midpoint is choice C, (–1, 2).
