Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment with coordinates A(5, 12) and B(-4, 8).

Answer 1

The formula for midpoint is:

$(\frac{x_{1} +x_{2} }{2 } , \frac{y_{1} +y_{2} }{2} )$

Since the points are (5, 12) and (-4, 8) the equation would be...

$(\frac{5 +(-4)} 2, \frac{12+8 }{2} )$

$(\frac{1}{2} , \frac{20}{2}$

(.5, 10)

Hope this helped!
