Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints.
M(–2, 1) and O(–3, 2)
A. (–2.5, 1.5)
B. (–0.5, –0.5)
C. (0.5, –0.5)
D. (–3, –5)
any help ??
no one knows how?
To find the midpoint of a segment with given endpoints, you can use the midpoint formula:
Midpoint = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2)
In this case, the given endpoints are M(-2, 1) and O(-3, 2). Let's substitute the values into the midpoint formula:
Midpoint = ((-2 + -3)/2, (1 + 2)/2)
Midpoint = (-5/2, 3/2)
Simplifying the fraction, we get the midpoint as:
Midpoint = (-2.5, 1.5)
Therefore, the correct answer is A. (–2.5, 1.5).
