To find the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment given the coordinates of its endpoints, we use the midpoint formula:
Midpoint = [(x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2]
where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the endpoints.
Plugging in the given values, we get:
Midpoint = [((4 + 2)/2), ((12 + (-2))/2)]
Simplifying the expression inside the brackets:
Midpoint = [(6/2), (10/2)]
Midpoint = [3, 5]
Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment with endpoints A(4, 12) and B(2, -2) are (3, 5).
