Question: The endpoints of a line segment are (2, - 4) and (2, - 2). Find the midpoint of the line segment.


A ) (2, 3)
B ) (- 2, 3)
C ) (2, - 3)
D ) (3, 2)

Steps to derive

1 The endpoints of the line segment has coordinates (2, - 4) and (2, - 2).

2 Midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is [x1+x22,y1+y22].
 [Use the midpoint formula.]

3 Midpoint = (2 + 22 , - 4 + (- 2)2)
 [Substitute the values.]

4 = (42, - 62)
 [Simplify.]

5 Midpoint = (2, - 3)
 [Write the fractions in simplest form.]

6 The midpoint of the line segment is (2, - 3).



Hence the right answer is Option C
