The coordinates of the midpoint of segment HX are found by taking the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates.
The x-coordinate of the midpoint is: (-1 + 7) / 2 = 6 / 2 = 3
The y-coordinate of the midpoint is: (3 + (-1)) / 2 = 2 / 2 = 1
Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint of segment HX are (3, 1). The correct response is:
(3, 1)
To find the coordinates of the midpoint of segment HX, you can use the midpoint formula:
Midpoint = ( (x1 + x2) / 2 , (y1 + y2) / 2 )
Given that H(-1,3) and X(7,-1), you can substitute the values into the formula:
Midpoint = ( (-1 + 7) / 2 , (3 + (-1)) / 2 )
Midpoint = ( 6 / 2 , 2 / 2 )
Midpoint = ( 3 , 1 )
Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint of segment HX are (3, 1).
