Question

Find the coordinates of the mid point if the end points are (2,-6) (-8,5)

Answer 1

`~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-8}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ -8 +2}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 5 -6}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ -6 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -1 }{2} \right)\implies \left(-3~~,~~-\cfrac{1}{2} \right)`
