A. (-6,10)
B. (-3,5)
C. (1,1)
D. (2.2)
E. (3,5)

Answer:

Answer: C. (1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint

Given a segment defined by points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), the midpoint (xm,ym) is calculated as follows:

[tex]\displaystyle x_m=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle y_m=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}[/tex]

The endpoints are (-2,-4) and (4,6).

Calculating the midpoint:

[tex]\displaystyle x_m=\frac{-2+4}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle y_m=\frac{-4+6}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1[/tex]

The midpoint is (1,1).

Answer: C. (1,1)
