The midpoint of A (-4, 2) and B(8, 5) is

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer: The midpoint of the points A(-4, 2) and B(8, 5) is M(2, 3.5).

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the midpoint of the points A(-4, 2) and B(8, 5).

We know that

the co-ordinates of the midpoint of the points (a, b) and (c, d) are given by

`M=\left((a+c)/(2),(b+d)/(2)\right).`

Therefore, the co-ordinates of the midpoint of the points (-4, 2) and B(8, 5) will be

`M=\left((-4+8)/(2),(2+5)/(2)\right)=\left((4)/(2),(7)/(2)\right)=(2,3.5).`

Thus, the midpoint of the points A(-4, 2) and B(8, 5) is M(2, 3.5).
