Question

What is the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are (-6,5) and (4,-7)?

Answer 1

The answer would be (-1, -1) on a coordinate grid. 

(-6+4)/2=x
(-2)/2=x
-1=x

(5+-7)/2=y
(-2)/2=y
-1=y

Answer 2

Hey there!

To start, the formula to find the midpoint coordinate pair of two given coordinates is as follows:
($\frac{x1+x2}{2}$, $\frac{y1+y2}{2}$)

Knowing this, plug in your given values (the two x values are -6 and 4; the two y values are 5 and -7) and simplify:
($\frac{-6+4}{2}$, $\frac{5+-7}{2}$)
=($\frac{-2}{2}$, $\frac{-2}{2}$)
=(-1,-1)

Therefore, the midpoint of the coordinates (-6,5) and (4,-7) would be (-1,-1).

Hope this helps and have a marvelous day! :)
