Question

Given: A(12,9), B(-2,-5) Find: M​

Answer 1

M (5,2) would be the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

M = ( 5 , 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

$M = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

A(12,9), B(-2,-5)

The midpoint M is

$M = (\frac{12 - 2}{2} , \: \frac{9 - 5}{2} ) \\ = ( \frac{10}{2} , \: \frac{4}{2} )$

We have the final answer as

M = ( 5 , 2)

Hope this helps you
