Answer 1

Answer:

(0,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

(0,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the midpoint of the line segment having end points (-4,5) and (4,7). So, here we can use the Midpoint Formula :-

Points :- (-4,5) and (4,7).

Using Midpoint Formula ,

$\rm\implies Midpoint =\bigg(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\bigg)$

Substitute the respective values ,

$\rm\implies Midpoint =\bigg(\dfrac{-4+4}{2},\dfrac{7+5}{2}\bigg)$

Simplify the numbers ,

$\rm\implies Midpoint =\bigg(\dfrac{0}{2},\dfrac{12}{2}\bigg)$

This equals to ,

$\rm\implies \boxed{\blue{\rm Midpoint =\bigg( 0,6\bigg)}}$

Hence the midpoint is (0,6) .
