JAMB - Mathematics (2022 - No. 28)

The coordinates of the mid-point of the line joining the points (-3,5) and (2,10) is given by? 
( \(\frac{1}{2}\), \(\frac{15}{2}\) )
( \(\frac{1}{2}\), \(\frac{-15}{2}\) )
( \(\frac{-1}{2}\), \(\frac{-15}{2}\) )
( \(\frac{-1}{2}\), \(\frac{15}{2}\) )

Explanation

Given Data: x\(_1\) = -3,  x\(_2\) = 2,  y\(_1\) = 5,  y\(_2\) = 10

coordinates of the mid-point of the line = (\(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}\) , \(\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\))

(\(\frac{-3 +2}{2}\) , \(\frac{5 + 10}{2}\))

=  \(\frac{-1}{2}\)) , \(\frac{15}{2}\))
