Question

Given: A(12,9), B(-2,-5) Find: M​

Answer 1

m (5,2) would be the answer

Answer 2

M = ( 5 , 2)

Explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

`M = ( (x1 + x2)/(2) , \: (y1 + y2)/(2) )`

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

A(12,9), B(-2,-5)

The midpoint M is

`M = ((12 - 2)/(2) , \: (9 - 5)/(2) ) \\ = ( (10)/(2) , \: (4)/(2) )`

We have the final answer as

M = ( 5 , 2)

Hope this helps you
