Question

How do I solve this problem using the Midpoint Formula?

Answer 1

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-6}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{5-4}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{-6+0}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{1}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{-6}{2} \right)\implies \left(\frac{1}{2}~,~-3 \right)$
