Answer:


\huge{ \fbox{ \sf{ \: ( \: 2 \:, 3 \: )}}}

Explanation:


\star{ \sf{ \: \: Let \: the \: points \: be \: A \: and \: B}} :


\star{ \sf{ \: Let \: A( - 2 \:, 2 \: ) \: be \: (x1 \:, y1) \: and \: B \: ( \: 6 \:, 4 \: ) \: be \: (x2 \:, y2)}}


\underline{ \sf{Finding \: the \: midpoint}} :


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


\mapsto{ \sf{Midpoint = ( ( - 2 + 6)/(2) \,, (2 + 4)/(2) }})


\underline{ \text{Remember!}}

  • The positive integers are always added and posses the positive ( + ) sign.
  • The negative integers are always added but posses the negative ( - ) sign.
  • The negative and positive integers are always subtracted but posses the sign of the bigger integer.


\mapsto{ \sf{Midpoint = ( (4)/(2) ,\: (6)/(2) )}}


\mapsto{ \sf{Midpoint = ( \: 2 ,\: 3)}}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
