Question

Find the midpoint between (-4,3) and (6,-9).

Answer 1

In order to find the midpoint between two points, we need to calculate the average between the x-coordinates and the average between the y-coordinates. Then, these averages will be the coordinates of the midpoint.

So we have that:

X-coordinate:

`(-4+6)/(2)=(2)/(2)=1`

Y-coordinate:

`(3+(-9))/(2)=(-6)/(2)=-3`

So the midpoint is (1, -3)
