Chapter 13.5, Problem 3CE

To determine

To find: the coordinate of the midpoint of the segment

Answer to Problem 3CE

The coordinate of the midpoint is $\left(2,3\right)$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The points are $\left(-2,2\right)\&\left(6,4\right)$

Calculation:

The coordinate of the midpoint

  $\begin{array}{l}M=\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)\\ M=\left(\frac{-2+6}{2},\frac{2+4}{2}\right)\\ M=\left(\frac{4}{2},\frac{6}{2}\right)\\ M=\left(2,3\right)\end{array}$
