Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
given the endpoints of a line segment
(x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is
[[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](x₁ + x₂), [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](y₁ + y₂) ]
For example
consider the endpoints (4, 2) and (6, - 4)
midpoint = [[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](4 + 6), [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](2 - 4)] = (5, - 1)
