Answer :

AMELIAORTIZ1111GO

Answer:

(1,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the middle between the two points:

4 to -2=6, so the middle would be 3

4-3=1

-8 to 6=14, so the middle would be 7

-8+7=-1

  • Midpoint Formula: [tex]\displaystyle (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point G(4, -8)

Point H(-2, 6)

Step 2: Find Midpoint

Simply plug in your coordinates into the midpoint formula to find midpoint

  1. Substitute in points [Midpoint Formula]:                                                       [tex]\displaystyle (\frac{4-2}{2},\frac{-8+6}{2})[/tex]
  2. [Fraction] Subtract/Add:                                                                                 [tex]\displaystyle (\frac{2}{2},\frac{-2}{2})[/tex]
  3. [Fraction] Divide:                                                                                             [tex]\displaystyle (1,-1)[/tex]
