Points M(9,4) and N(5,8) lie on the xy - plane. What is the midpoint of line segment MN? Choose the most appropriate option.
A) (7,6)  B) (0,5)  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=(9+5)/2=

<output>7</output>
7 and y=(4+8)/2= 
<gadget id="calculator">(4+8)/2</gadget>
<output>6</output>
6 --&gt; coordinates of the midpoint are (7, 6).   (7,6)nswer: (7,6).
