Answer:

-3/2, -1

Explanation:

Each coordinate contains one
x value and one
y value,
(x,y).

If we work out the midpoint of each of these individually, it makes it much easier to find the midpoint of the line.

Let's take the
x values first. Our first
x value is -4 and our second
x value is 1. Imagine the integers between -4 and 1 laid out in a sequence:


-4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1

If you take the middle value of this sequence, you get the midpoint of the
x values.

In this case, the middle is between values -2 and -1, leaving us with a midpoint of -1.5. This as a fraction is
-(3)/(2).

Now let's look at the
y values. Our first
y value is 2 and our second
y value is -4. Again, let's imagine those numbers laid out in a sequence:


2, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3, -4

Here, the middle of these values is -1, and this is the midpoint of the
y values.

So if we put these two values in a coordinate, we get the midpoint of the line.

In this case, we get
(-(3)/(2) ,-1).
