Question

If the coordinate of A is (0, -2) and the coordinate of B is (10, -6), then the midpoint of AB is

Answer 1

`\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{(5 \: , \: - 4)}}}}}`

Explanation:

Let A ( 0 , -2 ) be ( x₁ , y₁ ) and B ( 10 , -6 ) be ( x₂ , y₂ )

Finding the midpoint of AB

`\boxed{ \sf{midpoint = ( (x1 + x2)/(2) \: , (y1 + y2)/(2) )}}`

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{( (0 + 10)/(2) \: , \: ( - 2 + ( - 6))/(2) )}}`

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{( (10)/(2) \: \: , \: ( - 2 - 6)/(2) )}}`

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{( (10)/(2) \: , \: ( - 8)/(2) )}}`

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{(5 \: , \: - 4)}}`

Hope I helped!
