What are the coordinates of the midpoint of GH with endpoints G(−2, 5) and H(4, 1)?
A.
(2, 6)
B.
(−3, 2)
C.
(1, 3)
D.
(−6, 4)
To find the coordinates of the midpoint of GH, we can use the midpoint formula.
The midpoint formula is given by:
Midpoint = [(x₁ + x₂)/2 , (y₁ + y₂)/2]
Let's substitute the values of the endpoints G(-2, 5) and H(4, 1) into the formula.
Midpoint = [((-2) + 4)/2 , (5 + 1)/2]
Midpoint = [2/2 , 6/2]
Midpoint = [1, 3]
Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint of GH are (1, 3).
The correct answer is C. (1, 3).
