If point P is midpoint of segment joining point A(–4, 2) and point B(6, 2), then the coordinates of P are (1, 2). Explanation: A(x1, y1) = A(–4, 2), B(x2, y2) = B(6, 2) Here, x1 = –4, y1 = 2, x2 = 6, y2 = 2 $\therefore$ Co-ordinates of the midpoint of seg AB = `((x_1 + x_2)/2, (y_1 + y_2)/2) = ((-4 + 6)/2, (2 + 2)/2) = ($\frac{2}{2}$, $\frac{4}{2}$)` = (1, 2)
