Question

What is the center of MN given M(3, -1) and N(7,-5)

Answer 1

(5, -3)

Explanation:

So the center of the two points, or a line can be defined using the equation:
`midpoint=((x_2+x_1)/(2), (y_2+y_1)/(2))`. So using the two points you gave, you simply plug the values in to get

`midpoint=((3+7)/(2), (-1+(-5))/(2))\\`

Add numerators:

`midpoint=((10)/(2), (-6)/(2))`

Simplify fraction:

`midpoint=(5, -3)`
