Answer:

(0, -6).

Explanation:

The midpoint of the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is (x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2.

So the answer is (-3+3)/2, (-7 + -5)/2

= (0, -6).

Answer:

(0,-6)

Explanation:

(x₁,y₁)=(-3,-7)

(x₂,y₂)=(3,-5)

midpoint (x,y) =?

now,

x= (x₁+x₂)/2

= (-3+3)/2

=0/2 =0

y=(y₁+y₂)/2

={-7+(-5)} /2

=(-7-5)/2

=-12/2

=-6

so,

midpoint (x,y)=(0,-6)
