Answer:
(2, 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is
[ [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (x₁ + x₂ ) , [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (y₁ + y₂ ) ]
Here (x₁, y₁ ) = (A(5, 8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(- 1, - 4) , thus
midpoint = [ [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (5 - 1), [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (8 - 4 ) ] = (2, 2 )
