Find the midpoint of AB if
A(-9, 2) and B(5,-4).Midpoint =<
X+ X2
2
y + Y
2
>

Given parameters:
Coordinate of the two points = A(-9, 2) and B(5,-4)
Unknown:
The mid point of AB;
Solution
To find the mid point of line AB, use the expression below;
[tex]x_{m}[/tex] , [tex]y_{m}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{y_{1} + y_{2} }{2}[/tex]
x₁ = -9, x₂ = 5
y₁ = 2, y₂ = -4
Input the parameters and solve;
[tex]x_{m}[/tex] , [tex]y_{m}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-9 + 5}{2}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{2 + (-4)} {2}[/tex] =( -2, -1 )
The coordinate of the mid point is ( -2, -1 )
