Respuesta :

The x coordinates of each point are -4 and 4. Add them up to get
-4+4 = 0

Then cut this result in half to get
0/2 = 0

So the x coordinate of the midpoint is 0

Similarly, the y coordinates of the two points are 8 and 12. They add to 8+12 = 20

Half of that result is 20/2 = 10

So the y coordinate of the midpoint is 10

The final answer here is the midpoint is (0,10)
de midpoint formula
the midpoint of the poins (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
[tex]( \frac{x1+x2}{2}, \frac{y1+y2}{2}) [/tex]
basically, take their average

given
(-4,8) and (4,12)
x1=-4
y1=8
x2=4
y2=12
[tex]( \frac{-4+4}{2}, \frac{8+12}{2}) [/tex]
[tex]( \frac{0}{2}, \frac{20}{2}) [/tex]
(0,10)
midoint is (0,10)
