Question

find the midpoint between. (-1,2) and (-7,-4).

Answer 1

The midpoint of two coordinates can be obtained using the formula:

$\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\text{ }\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}$

x1 = -1

y1= 2

x2= -7

y2= -4

$\begin{gathered} \frac{-7\text{ +(-1)}}{2},\frac{2+(-4)}{2} \\ \\ \frac{-7-1}{2},\frac{2-4}{2} \\ \frac{-8}{2},\frac{-2}{2} \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} \text{midpoint} \\ (-4,-1) \end{gathered}$
