What is the midpoint of the segment joining the points (4,-2)and (-8,6) show in steps how you got it

The x-coordinate of the midpoint will be the average of the two given x-coordinates, and the y-coordinate will be the average of the two given y-coordinates.
This can be written as
midpoint = ,
where the given points are (x1, y1) and x2, y2).

In the problem, you have (4, -2) and (-8, 6).
The midpoint will be

It has a slope of 1 nd a y intercept of -2
