Answer:
let A(-2,-2) = (x1,y1)
B(2,-4) = (x2,y2)
P(x,y) = ?
AP = AB ..... (given)
:. point p is the midpoint of seg AB
:. By midpoint formula ,
x coordinate of P = x1 + x2 / 2
= -2+(-2) / 2
= -2-2 / 2
= -4 / 2 = -2
y coordinate of P = y1 + y2 / 2
= -2+(-4) / 2
= -2-4 / 2 = -6 /2
= -3
:. P(x,y) = (-2 , -3)
