Answer 2

Answer: The midpoint of line segment AB is,

$(4,3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the coordinates of the midpoint of a line segment having the endpoints $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ are,

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

Thus, the coordinates of midpoint of the line segment AB having endpoints A(9, 8) and B(-1, -2) are,

$(\frac{9+(-1)}{2},\frac{8+(-2)}{2})$

$=(\frac{9-1}{2}, \frac{8-2}{2})$

$=(\frac{8}{2}, \frac{6}{2})$

$=(4,3)$
