Question

What is the midpoint of the segment (-2,4) and (6,-4)

Answer 1

To find midpoint, we find the average or median of the two x terms and the average of the two y terms to find the right coordinate point. In this case, the average of -2 and 6 is 2, and the mean of 4 and -4 is 0, so the new coordinate point is (2,0).

Answer 2

-2 + 6 = 4 / 2 = 2
4 + -4 = 0 / 2 = 0

2,0
