Find the Midpoint (-12,8) , (0,0)

$(- 12, 8)$ , $(0, 0)$

Step 1

Use the midpoint formula to find the midpoint of the line segment.

$(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2})$

Step 2

Substitute in the values for $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ .

$(\frac{- 12 + 0}{2}, \frac{8 + 0}{2})$

Step 3

Cancel the common factor of $- 12 + 0$ and $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $- 12$ .

$(\frac{2 \cdot - 6 + 0}{2}, \frac{8 + 0}{2})$

Factor $2$ out of $0$ .

$(\frac{2 \cdot - 6 + 2 \cdot 0}{2}, \frac{8 + 0}{2})$

Factor $2$ out of $2 \cdot - 6 + 2 \cdot 0$ .

$(\frac{2 \cdot (- 6 + 0)}{2}, \frac{8 + 0}{2})$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $2$ .

$(\frac{2 \cdot (- 6 + 0)}{2 (1)}, \frac{8 + 0}{2})$

Cancel the common factor.

$(\frac{2 \cdot (- 6 + 0)}{2 \cdot 1}, \frac{8 + 0}{2})$

Rewrite the expression.

$(\frac{- 6 + 0}{1}, \frac{8 + 0}{2})$

Divide $- 6 + 0$ by $1$ .

$(- 6 + 0, \frac{8 + 0}{2})$

Step 4

Add $- 6$ and $0$ .

$(- 6, \frac{8 + 0}{2})$

Step 5

Cancel the common factor of $8 + 0$ and $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $8$ .

$(- 6, \frac{2 \cdot 4 + 0}{2})$

Factor $2$ out of $0$ .

$(- 6, \frac{2 \cdot 4 + 2 \cdot 0}{2})$

Factor $2$ out of $2 \cdot 4 + 2 \cdot 0$ .

$(- 6, \frac{2 \cdot (4 + 0)}{2})$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $2$ .

$(- 6, \frac{2 \cdot (4 + 0)}{2 (1)})$

Cancel the common factor.

$(- 6, \frac{2 \cdot (4 + 0)}{2 \cdot 1})$

Rewrite the expression.

$(- 6, \frac{4 + 0}{1})$

Divide $4 + 0$ by $1$ .

$(- 6, 4 + 0)$

Step 6

Add $4$ and $0$ .

$(- 6, 4)$

Step 7

Find the Midpoint (-12,8) , (0,0)
