To find the midpoint of points A and B graphically, we need to start by drawing the given points.

A(2,4) and B(-2,9).

The graph looks like this:

To find the coordinates of the midpoint, add the x-coordinates and divide by 2, and do the same for the y-coordinates, then:


\text{Midpoint: (}(2+(-2))/(2),(4+9)/(2))=((0)/(2),(13)/(2))=(0,6.5)

Thus, the midpoint is at (0,6.5). In the graph it is at:
