Question

(2,-4) and (6,2).
Find the mid point

Answer 1

The mid point must be (4,-1)

Explanation:

mid point= [(X1+X2)/2 , (Y1+Y2)/2]

= [ (2+6)/2 , (-4+2)/2]

= [ 8/4 , -2/2]

= (4, -1)

Answer 2

The answer is

( 4 , - 1)

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

(2,-4) and (6,2)

The midpoint is

`M = ( (2 + 6)/( 2) , \: ( - 4 + 2)/(2) ) \\ = ( (8)/(2) \: , \: - (2)/(2) )`

We have the final answer as

( 4 , - 1)

Hope this helps you
