Question

What is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (–1, 7) and (3, –3)?

Answer 1

The coordinates consist of x coordinate and y coordinate
(x₁,y₁) = (-1,7)
(x₂,y₂) = (3,-3)

To find the midpoint of x coordinate, use this following formula
x midpoint = (x₁ + x₂)/2
x midpoint = (-1 + 3) / 2
x midpoint = 2/2
x midpoint = 1

To find the midpoint of y coordinate, use this following formula
y midpoint = (y₁ + y₂)/2
y midpoint = (7 + (-3))/2
y midpoint = (7 - 3)/2
y midpoint = 4/2
y midpoint = 2

ANSWER
The midpoint is (1,2)
