Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment joining the points $A(-2, 5)$ and $B(4, 9)$

Verified Answer

$(1, 7)$

Explanation & Step-by-Step Solving

Context: Use the midpoint formula $M = \left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\right)$ : $M = \left(\frac{-2 + 4}{2}, \frac{5 + 9}{2}\right) = \left(\frac{2}{2}, \frac{14}{2}\right) = (1, 7)$
