Answer 2

The midpoint coordinates of the segment whose endpoints are A(−1,−2) and B(6, 12) is (2.5,5.0) .

Explanation:

Formula

`Midpoint\ coordinates = ((x_(2)+x_(1))/(2) ,(y_(2)+y_(1))/(2))`

As given

The segment whose endpoints are A(−1,−2) and B(6, 12) .

`Midpoint\ coordinates = ((6-1)/(2) ,(12-2)/(2))`

`Midpoint\ coordinates = ((5)/(2) ,(10)/(2))`

`Midpoint\ coordinates = (2.5,5)`

It is also written as

`Midpoint\ coordinates = (2.5,5.0)`

Therefore the midpoint coordinates of the segment whose endpoints are A(−1,−2) and B(6, 12) is (2.5,5.0) .
