Question

The coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (1, 2) and (3, 4) are:

Accepted Answer

The midpoint formula is given by $\left(\frac{x1 + x2}{2}, \frac{y1 + y2}{2}\right)$. Substituting the coordinates $(1, 2)$ and $(3, 4)$, we get $\left(\frac{1 + 3}{2}, \frac{2 + 4}{2}\right) = \left(\frac{4}{2}, \frac{6}{2}\right) = (2, 3)$. Therefore, the correct option is A.
