Question

To find the midpoint of line segment
, Fernando calculated
. What should hisnext step be?
(1 point)
¯A¯¯¯¯B¯¯¯ 6.4 + (−2.5) = 3.9
Fernando should divide 3.9 by 2, then repeat both steps using the y-values.
Fernando has already made a mistake. He should have calculated 6.4 + 2.5 = 8.9.
Fernando should subtract the y-values.
Fernando has already made a mistake. He should have subtracted the x-values to get 8.9

Answer 1

Divide 3.9 by 2 to get the x-coordinate of the midpoint (3.9/2 = 1.95), then add the y-values and divide that sum by 2 to get the y-coordinate.
