Point
\[\blue{A}\] is at
\[\blue{(-4, 8)}\] and point
\[\green{B}\] is at
\[\green{(6, 7)}\].
What is the midpoint of line segment
\[\overline{AB}\]?
1 answer
To find the midpoint of segment $\overline{AB}$, we average the coordinates of points $A$ and $B$. The $x$-coordinate of the midpoint is $\frac{(-4) + (6)}{2} = 1$, and the $y$-coordinate of the midpoint is $\frac{(8) + (7)}{2} = 7.5$. Therefore, the midpoint is $\boxed{(1,7.5)}$.
