Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

any point looks like this   --> point A = ( x, y )

point 1 = (5,4)

point 2 = (-9, 2)

we are given these points and are asked what is the x coordinate that is in the middle

so find the distance between the two 'x' coordinates

5 - (-9)

5 + 9 = 14

that's the distance between the points , now chop that in half.  so 7

now add 7 to negative 9

or subtract 7 from 5

either way gets    -2

-2 is the mid point of the 'x' coordinate
