Question

(2,-4) and (6,2). Find the mid point

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is

( 4 , - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

$M = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(2,-4) and (6,2)

The midpoint is

$M = ( \frac{2 + 6}{ 2} , \: \frac{ - 4 + 2}{2} ) \\ = ( \frac{8}{2} \: , \: - \frac{2}{2} )$

We have the final answer as

( 4 , - 1)

Hope this helps you

Answer 2

Answer:

The mid point must be (4,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

mid point= [(X1+X2)/2 , (Y1+Y2)/2]

= [ (2+6)/2 , (-4+2)/2]

= [ 8/4 , -2/2]

= (4, -1)
