Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points ​(−2​,−1​) and ​(−8​,4​).

Answer 1

Answer:

(-5, 1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2 ,-1) ; (-8 , 4)

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

               $=(\frac{-2-8}{2}, \frac{-1+4}{2})\\\\=(\frac{-10}{2},\frac{3}{2})\\\\=(-5 , 1.5)$
