Question 2536: Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (3,7) and (-6,1)
a: (-3/2, 4)
b: (9/2, 3)
c: (-3,6)
d: (-3,4)
e: none of these

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Following formula is used:
Midpoint of a line with endpoints as (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is ((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2)
So a line with coordinates (3,7) and (-6,1) will be
X = (3+(-6))/2 = -3/2
and Y = (7+1)/2 = 4
So coordinates of midpoint is (-3/2,4)...hence answer is (a)
