@Haseeb96, I just warned you about giving answers.

Answer 9

okay

Answer 10

yea and explaination would be great lol

Answer 11

are you sure there is not a typo in the question or the answer choices? the correct answer is not listed.

the x coordinate of the mid point is the average of the x values ,
the y coordinate of the mid-point is the average of the y values

Answer 12

The midpoint formula is

\(M = \dfrac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \dfrac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\)

Answer 13

there is no typo but its okay thanks for the help

Answer 14

@gabs15, there's a reason @phi mentioned something about a typo.

Answer 15

no... i didnt mean it in a way that he is wrong i mean that there is no typo that i wrote it exactly how the problem was @Hero @phi

Answer 16

I assume you found the average of the x values, -2 and 4
which is (-2+4)/2 = 2/2 = 1
and the average of the y values 2 and 2 = (2+2)/2 = 4/2 = 2 (though we should know that the average of the same number is just that number, and do not need to use the formula)

at any rate, the mid-point is (1,2)

So mention this to your teacher. take a screen shot and show them the problem

Answer 17

i will show her thanks
