Points M(7,2) and N(5,14) lie on the xy - plane. What is the midpoint of line segment MN?  Choose the correct option:
A) (5,0) B) (6,8) C) (0, (136^(1/2))/2) D) (3/2,0) E) (1,5)
The midpoint of a segment is exactly halfway between its endpoints and it's location can be found using the Midpoint Theorem, which states:   • The x-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the x-coordinates of the two endpoints.   • Likewise, the y-coordinate is the average of the y-coordinates of the endpoints.   So, x=(7+5)/2=

<output>8</output>
8 --&gt; coordinates of the midpoint are (6, 8).   Answer: (6,8).
