Find the coordinates of the midpoint of line PQ given P(-3, 4) and Q(5, 6).
A
(1, 4)
B
(4, 1)
C
(5, 1)
D
(1, 5)
Verified Correct Answer: D.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Midpoint = [\(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}\), \(\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\)]
Midpoint = [\(\frac{(-3 + 5)}{2}\), \(\frac{(4 + 6)}{2}\)] = (\(\frac{2}{2}\), (\(\frac{10}{2}\)) = (1, 5).
