Question

Point A is at (4,6), Point B is at (-2,-2). What is exactly halfway between the two points? How did you find this point?

Answer 1

midpoint ( 1, 2 )

Explanation:

given endpoints, the the coordinates of the midpoint are the average of the x and y coordinates of the endpoints.

given A (4, 6 ) and B (- 2, - 2 ) then midpoint M is

M = (
`(4-2)/(2)` ,
`(6-2)/(2)` ) = (
`(2)/(2)` ,
`(4)/(2)` ) = ( 1, 2 )
