Question

The mid point of the line segment joining the points A -2,8 and B-6,-4is

Answer 1

Answer:

(- 4, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

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

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = A (- 2, 8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B (- 6, - 4) , then

midpoint = ( $\frac{-2-6}{2}$, $\frac{8-4}{2}$ ) = ( $\frac{-8}{2}$, $\frac{4}{2}$ ) = (- 4, 2 )
