How do you find the midpoint of A(5,4), B(-3,2)?

Mid point is $(1, 3)$ $(1, 3)$

Explanation:

Given -

$A (5, 4) : B (- 3, 2)$ $A(5, 4): B(-3,2)$

$x_{1} = 5$ $x_1=5$
$y_{1} = 4$ $y_1=4$
$x_{2} = - 3$ $x_2=-3$
$Y_{2} = 2$ $Y_2=2$

Mid Point is given by $(x, y) = \frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2}$ $(x,y)=(x_1+x_2)/2,(y_1+y_2)/2$

$(x, y) = \frac{5 + (- 3)}{2}, \frac{4 + 2}{2}$ $(x,y)=(5+(-3))/2,(4+2)/2$
$(x, y) = \frac{5 - 3}{2}, \frac{4 + 2}{2}$ $(x,y)=(5-3)/2,(4+2)/2$
$(x, y) = (\frac{2}{2}, \frac{6}{2})$ $(x,y)=(2/2,6/2)$
$x, y = (1, 3)$ $x,y=(1, 3)$
