The midpoint of (2,4) and (6,8) is:

Answer: (4,6).

  • A (3,5)
  • B (4,6)
  • C (5,6)
  • D (4,5)

Correct answer: B. (4,6)

Explanation: Midpoint = ((2+6)/2, (4+8)/2) = (4,6).

Slope as Rise over Runxy(x₁,y₁)(x₂,y₂)run = x₂−x₁rise = y₂−y₁m = rise/run = (y₂−y₁)/(x₂−x₁) = tanθ

The slope of a line is the ratio of vertical change (rise) to horizontal change (run) between any two points on it - equivalently, the tangent of the angle θ the line makes with the positive x-axis.
