Question

7 find the midpoint of ah. a = (-8,8) h = (4,-6) mp=

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

The mid - point formula for two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$. Here $x_1=-8,y_1 = 8,x_2 = 4,y_2=-6$.

Step2: Calculate x - coordinate of mid - point

$x=\frac{-8 + 4}{2}=\frac{-4}{2}=-2$

Step3: Calculate y - coordinate of mid - point

$y=\frac{8+( - 6)}{2}=\frac{8 - 6}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1$

Answer:

$(-2,1)$
