find the midpoint of the line segment with the given endpoints (-2,2) (-4,4). PLEASE HELP showing steps. i'm so lost?

Midpoint formula: ((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2), i.e. the average of the x and y coordinates.
(-2 + -4)/2 = -6/2 = -3, so the x-coord. of the midpt. is -3
(2 + 4)/2 = 6/2 = 3, so the y-coord. of the midpt. is 3.
Thus the midpoint of the segment is the point (-3 3)....Show more
