Find the midpoint given the endpoints:

(___),(___)

Answer 1

Answer: (-1, 1.5)

Note: 1.5 = 3/2

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The two points shown on the graph are located at (-3, -2) and (1, 5)

Let's focus on the x coordinates for now.

To find the midpoint of -3 and 1, we do two things in the order shown

• Add up the values: -3+1 = -2
• Divide in half: -2/2 = -1

Therefore, -1 is the midpoint of -3 and 1 on the number line.

It is also the x coordinate of the midpoint.

------------

Repeat these steps for the y coordinates of the given points.

• Add: -2+5 = 3
• Divide in half: 3/2 = 1.5

This is the y coordinate of the midpoint.

-------------

The midpoint overall is located at (-1, 1.5)

I used GeoGebra to confirm the answer as correct.
