Question

Find the midpoint of (0, 4) and (2, -2)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\text{Midpoint} = (1, \; 1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$M = (x_M, \; y_M)$

$M = \left(\dfrac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \; \dfrac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\right)$

$M = \left(\dfrac{0 + 2}{2}, \; \dfrac{4 + -2}{2}\right)$

$M = \left(\dfrac{2}{2}, \; \dfrac{2}{2}\right)$

$M = (1, \; 1)$

Answer 2

Answer: (1, 1)

Step by Step Explanation:

The midpoint formula is (x + x/2 ,  y + y/2)

If you plug in the coordinates it looks like this

( 0 + 2/2  ,  4 + (-2)/2)

That turns into this:

(2/2  ,  2/2)                              

Which gives you the final answer of (1, 1)
