Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
First subtract the endpoints and then divide by 2.
The incorrect statement about the midpoint of a segment in the complex plane is: First subtract the endpoints and then divide by 2.
What is complex number?
"It is a number of the type a + ib, where a, b are real numbers and [tex]i=\sqrt{-1}[/tex]"
What is midpoint formula in the complex plane?
"The midpoint of two complex numbers a + bi and s + ti is [tex]M=\frac{a+s}{2}+i(\frac{b+t}{2} )[/tex]"
What is complex plane?
"It is formed by the complex numbers, with real axis (x-axis in coordinate plane) and imaginary axis(y-axis in coordinate plane)"
For given question,
We know that the midpoint of a segment in the complex plane passing through two complex numbers a + bi and s + ti is given by [tex]M=\frac{a+s}{2}+i(\frac{b+t}{2} )[/tex].
This means, the midpoint is the average of the endpoints.
or to find the midpoint first add the endpoints and then multiply by [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
We know that the complex conjugate of a complex number x + iy is x - iy.
if we find the midpoint of a segment passing through these points, then it would be,
[tex]M=\frac{x+x}{2} + i (\frac{y-y}{2})\\\\M=x+0i\\M=x+0\\M=x[/tex]
This means the midpoint would lie on the X-axis.
Therefore, the incorrect statement about the midpoint of a segment in the complex plane is: First subtract the endpoints and then divide by 2.
