Question

Given the points (-4,8) and (6, -12)
(1) Determine the midpoint of the line segment connecting the points.​

Answer 1

answer: (1,–2)

Step-by-step explanation:

mid point (x,y) = [ (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2 ]

Here (x1, y1) = (–4,8)

and. ( x2, y2) = (6,–12)

therefore

x = (–4 + 6)/2

= 2/2

x= 1

y = ( 8 – 12)/2

= –4/2

y = –2

mid point is (1,–2)
