Question

Find the midpoint M of the line segment joining the points C=(-4,-4) and D =(2,8),

Answer 1

We have the next points

C=(-4,-4)=(x1,y1)

D=(2,8)=(x2,y2)

In order to find the midpoint

-For the x-coordinate of the midpoint

`x_m=(x_1+x_2)/(2)`
`x_m=(-4+2)/(2)=(-2)/(2)=-1`

-For the y-coordinate of the midpoint

`y_m=(y_1+y_2)/(2)=(-4+8)/(2)=(4)/(2)=2`

The midpoint is (-1,2)
