Question

Find the midpoint of the two points below. Type your answer as a point (x,y) without any spaces between your characters. Be sure to include the parentheses and a comma between your x and y values. If a value is not an integer then type your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth.(−1,1) and (7,-4)The midpoint is Answer

Answer 1

We have two points:

P1 = (-1, 1)

P2 = (7, -4)

The midpoint of two points is defined as:

M = (P1 + P2) / 2

Replacing the values:

M = ( (-1, 1) + (7, -4) ) / 2 = ( (-1 + 7, 1 - 4) ) / 2 = (6, -3) / 2

The midpoint is:

M = (3, -1.5)
