Questions: What is the midpoint of AB ?
A (-7,7)
B (-7/2, 7/2)
C (1/2,-1/2)
D (3/4,-4/3)
Transcript text: What is the midpoint of $\overline{A B}$ ?
A $(-7,7)$
B $\left(-\frac{7}{2}, \frac{7}{2}\right)$
C $\left(\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2}\right)$
D $\left(\frac{3}{4},-\frac{4}{3}\right)$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the coordinates of points A and B
The coordinates of point A are (-4, -3).
The coordinates of point B are (4, 3).
Step 2: Apply the midpoint formula
The midpoint formula is given by:
Midpoint = ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)
Substitute the coordinates of A and B into the formula:
Midpoint = ((-4 + 4)/2, (-3 + 3)/2)
Midpoint = (0/2, 0/2)
Midpoint = (0, 0)
