Answer 1

(-1, 4)

Explanation:

You want the midpoint M of segment AB whose endpoints are A(2, 1) and B(-4, 7).

Midpoint

The coordinates of the midpoint are the average of the endpoint coordinates:

M = (A +B)/2

M = ((2, 1) +(-4, 7))/2 = (2 -4, 1 +7)/2 = (-2, 8)/2

M = (-1, 4)

The midpoint M is (-1, 4).
