What's the midpoint of a line segment joining the points (5, –4) and (–13, 12)? Question 8 options:

A)

(–4, 4)

B)

(9, 4)

C)

(–4, 8)

D)

(4, 4)

The midpoint of the line segment is located at (-4, 4).

Step-by-step explanation:

We're given the coordinate points of a line that can help us find the midpoint.

The midpoint formula for a line is written as:

Additionally, we are given the coordinate points (5, -4) and (-13, 12). We can use these and label them with the (x, y) system so we can substitute them into the formula.

In math, a coordinate pair is written as (x, y). This is where cos = x and sin = y. If we are given two coordinate pairs, we can label them with the (x, y) system but also incorporating a subscript to distinguish the two x-values from each other as well as the y-values. We do this by turning the two x-values into x₁ and x₂ and the y-values follow the same protocol: y₁ and y₂.

Therefore, we can label our two coordinates:

(5, -4)

(-13, 12)

Now, we can place these values into the midpoint formula and simplify to find our midpoint.

Recall that the midpoint formula is:

Therefore, let's substitute these values.

Therefore, the midpoint of the line segment is located at (-4, 4), which is Option A.

a.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1 distribute 2 to every term in the parentheses

step 2 add 10 on both sides of the equal sign
