alleryThe midpoint of the line segment joining (2, 3) and (8, 5) has coordinates:
A(6, 2)
B(3, 2)
C(4, 5)
D(5, 4)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. (5, 4)
1. The midpoint formula is ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2).
2. ((2 + 8)/2, (3 + 5)/2) = (10/2, 8/2).
3. = (5, 4).
4. So the midpoint is (5, 4).
5. The other coordinate pairs do not satisfy the midpoint formula.
