To find the midpoint \( M \) of the segment defined by points \( A \) and \( B \), we can use the midpoint formula:
\[ M = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right) \]
Where \( A = (x_1, y_1) \) and \( B = (x_2, y_2) \).
Given: \( A = (-1, 2) \) and \( B = (4, -2) \)
Now, let's plug in the coordinates:
\[ M_x = \frac{-1 + 4}{2} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \]
\[ M_y = \frac{2 + (-2)}{2} = \frac{0}{2} = 0 \]
So, the coordinates of the midpoint \( M \) are:
\[ M = (1.5, 0) \]
Thus, M is located at (1.5, 0).
