Question

Point A is located at (2, 6), and D is located at (−4, 10). Find the coordinates of the point that lies halfway between A and D.

Answer 1

The formula for finding the midpoint is (X1+X2)/2, (Y1+Y2)/2

The two X points are 2 and -4. So, we do 2+(-4)/2 which comes out to be -1

The two Y points are 6 and 10. So, we do 6+10/2 which comes out to be 8

We write our final answer as a point, which is (-1,8).
