Question

A(5, 8) and B(-1,-4)

Find the coordinates of the midpoint

Answer 1

Answer:

$m = (2,6)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A(5, 8) and B(-1,-4)

Required

Determine the midpoint

Represent the midpoint with m

m is calculated as thus:

$m = (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$

Where:

$(x_1,y_1) = (5,8)$ ---- A

$(x_2,y_2) = (-1,4)$ ------ B

So, the expression:

$m = (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$

becomes

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

$m = (\frac{4}{2},\frac{12}{2})$

$m = (2,6)$

Hence, the coordinates of the midpoint is: (2,6)

Answer 2

the answer is m = (2,6) hope this helps !
