Question

What is the midpoint of segment AB if A = (-2,2) and B = (4.-6)?

Answer 1

`M=(1,-2)`

Explanation:

Start with the midpoint formula:

`M=((x_1+x_2)/(2) , (y_1+y_2)/(2) )`

Identify your values:

`x_1=-2\\x_2=4\\y_1=2\\y_2=-6`

Substitute:

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

Combine terms:

`M=((2)/(2),(-4)/(2) )`

Simplify:

`M=(1,-2)`
