Question

find the midpoint, m, of $overline{ab}$. a = (10, -1) b = (-6, 3) m = ($\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}$, $\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}$) m = ( ?, )

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate x - coordinate of mid - point

$x=\frac{10+( - 6)}{2}=\frac{10 - 6}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2$

Step2: Calculate y - coordinate of mid - point

$y=\frac{-1 + 3}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1$

Answer:

$(2,1)$
