What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are A(−1, −2) and B(6, 12) ? Enter your answer, as decimals, in the boxes.

Answer 1

The coordinates of the midpoint are found using the formula:

(X₁+X₂)/2 , (Y₁+Y₂)/2

So in this case it would be

(-1 + 6)/2 , (-2+12)/2

Answer 2

Use the Midpoint Formula (which is in your textbook):

Midpoint = ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2)

where (x₁,y₁) = (-1,2) and (x₂,y₂) = (6,12). Plug on the values and compute the answer.
