To find the midpoint, we can follow the formula:

Midpoint = (x1 + x2) / 2 , (y1 + y2) / 2

Given the points (-4, 2) and (5, 0) we can plug in our values using the formula:

-4 + 5 = 1

1 / 2 = 1/2

Therefore, our x-coordinate is 1/2.

2 + 0 = 2

2 / 2 = 1

Hence, our y-coordinate is 1.

Integrating our new results, we will find that the midpoint of this data is (1/2, 1).
