• Coordinates (x, y)
• Midpoint Formula: $\displaystyle (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Endpoint (-6, -6)

Endpoint (5, 4)

Step 2: Find Midpoint

Simply plug in your coordinates into the midpoint formula to find midpoint

1. Substitute in points [Midpoint Formula]:                                                       $\displaystyle (\frac{-6+5}{2},\frac{-6+4}{2})$
2. [Fraction - Numerator] Add:                                                                           $\displaystyle (\frac{-1}{2},\frac{-2}{2})$
3. [Fraction] Divide:                                                                                             $\displaystyle (\frac{-1}{2},-1)$
