Answer 1

`((5)/(2),-(7)/(2))`

Explanation:

The complete question is

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below?

(1,-1) (4, -6)

we know that

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

`M((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))`

we have

`(x_1,y_1)=(1,-1)\\(x_2,y_2)=(4,-6)`

substitute the given values

`M((1+4)/(2),(-1-6)/(2))`

`M((5)/(2),-(7)/(2))`
