Mathematics 2005 JAMB Past Questions - Question 33: Find the coordinate of the midpoint of the line joining (3,-4) and (-1,10)
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
A
Explanation
To find the midpoint of the line joining two points, we can use the midpoint formula:Midpoint = ((x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2)Given the coordinates of the two points as (3, -4) and (-1, 10), we can substitute these values into the formula:Midpoint = ((3 + -1) / 2, (-4 + 10) / 2)Simplifying the equation:Midpoint = (2 / 2, 6 / 2)Midpoint = (1, 3)Therefore, the midpoint of the line joining (3, -4) and (-1, 10) is (1, 3).
