Question

Find the midpoint between points A and b

Answer 1

first option

Explanation:

given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

(
`(x_(1)+x_(2) )/(2)` ,
`(y_(1)+y_(2) )/(2)` ) ← midpoint formula

here (x₁, y₁ ) = A (- 2, - 6 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B (1, - 2 ) , then

midpoint = (
`(-2+1)/(2)` ,
`(-6-2)/(2)` ) = (
`(-1)/(2)` ,
`(-8)/(2)` ) = (-
`(1)/(2)`, - 4 )
