Question

Find the coordinates of M, the midpoint of segment AB, for the pair of points. (round to the

tenths place)
A (6,-5) and B (8,-2)

Answer 1

M is the average of A and B (both x and y).

That is, M = (A+B)/2

so also |BM| = 1/2 |AB| since length is a linear function

(you can use the distance formula, and show that 1/2 factors out)
