Answer 1

The midpoint M between the two given points is

$M=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

where

$\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(-43,17) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(23,-34) \end{gathered}$

Then, by substituting these values into M, we get

$M=(\frac{-43+23}{2},\frac{17-34}{2})$

Then, the answer is

$M=(-10,-8.5)$
