Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

$M=(1,-2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the midpoint formula:

$M=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )$

Identify your values:

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

Substitute:

$M=(\frac{-2+4}{2} , \frac{2+(-6)}{2} )$

Combine terms:

$M=(\frac{2}{2},\frac{-4}{2} )$

Simplify:

$M=(1,-2)$
