Answer:
(5/2, 1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
the midpoint formula is
(x1 + x2/2) , (y1 + y2/2) <-- both the x1 and y1 coordinates also are divided by 2
so to solve for the midpoint, we take our endpoints and plug it into the formula
we will list the coordinates as the following to plug it into the formula:
x coordinate 1 = -1
x coordinate 2 = 6
y coordinate 1 = 3
y coordinate 2 = -2
substituting these values into the formula we get this:
x =(-1 + 6/2) , y = (3 + -2/2)
x = -1 + 6 = 5/2
we cant simplify 5/2 any further, so 5/2 is our x coordinate for the midpoint
y = 3 + (-2) = 1/2
1/2 is already simplified, so 1/2 is our y coordinate for the midpoint
in an ordered pair it would be (5/2, 1/2)
