agent0smith · Answer

(-8, 12) is (x1, y1) and the other point is (x2, y2)

Now plug stuff in

alones · Answer

Mkay $$ \frac{(-8+ 12) }{ 2 } \frac{ (12+-2) }{ 2 }$$

agent0smith · Answer

Look at the formula again, it's x1+x2, not x1 + y1

alones · Answer

and i got   -31/2

agent0smith · Answer

The midpoint is a point (x, y) not a single number.

agent0smith · Answer

What makes you unsure?

(-8, 12) and (-13, -2)
(x1, y1)         (x2, y2)

Identify x1 and y1, and x2 and y2

alones · Answer

Yeah i did
(-8 +-13) over 2 and ( 12+-2) over 2
