To find the midpoint between two points, we can use the midpoint formula. The formula is:
Midpoint = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2)
In this case, the coordinates of the two points are (-2, 9) and (-7, 7). Let's plug these values into the formula:
Midpoint = ((-2 + -7)/2, (9 + 7)/2)
Simplifying further:
Midpoint = (-9/2, 16/2)
Which gives us:
Midpoint = (-4.5, 8)
So, the midpoint between (-2, 9) and (-7, 7) is (-4.5, 8).
