Question

Have you tried drawing it? I guess, that would really help..

anonymous · Answer

Midpoint formula is $$Midpoint = (\frac{x1+x2}{2}, \frac{y1+y2}{2})$$
 $$=(\frac{5+1}{2}, \frac{-2+-6}{2}) $$
$$= (\frac{6}{2}, \frac{-8}{2})$$
$$=(3,-4)$$

Would be much better, if @saheiiiim actually understood, where this "formula" of yours comes from, I think - so please don't just post answers @JayDS. It doesn't help much and it also violates the OpenStudy code of conduct. Thanks :)
