Question

Find the midpoint of (0, 4) and (2, -2)

Answer 1

Answer: (1, 1)

Step by Step Explanation:

The midpoint formula is (x + x/2 , y + y/2)

If you plug in the coordinates it looks like this

( 0 + 2/2 , 4 + (-2)/2)

That turns into this:

(2/2 , 2/2)

Which gives you the final answer of (1, 1)

Answer 2

`\text{Midpoint} = (1, \; 1)`

Explanation:

`M = (x_M, \; y_M)`

`M = \left((x_1 + x_2)/(2), \; (y_1 + y_2)/(2)\right)`

`M = \left((0 + 2)/(2), \; (4 + -2)/(2)\right)`

`M = \left((2)/(2), \; (2)/(2)\right)`

`M = (1, \; 1)`
