7.
(-3,5) (7,-1)
The midpoint is the midway between two points.
In this case, we have 2 coordinate points (x,y)
point 1 = (-3,5)
point2 = (7,-1)
To find the midpoints we have to add each coordinate and divide by 2.
(-3,5) = (x1,y1)
(7,-1)= (x2,y2)
midpoint = (mx,my)
To find the first coordinate of the midpoint (xm) we have to add both x coordinates (x1 and x2) and divide them by 2
midpoint x = (x1+x2)/2 = (-3+7)/2 = 4/2 = 2
xm=2
Same for the y coordinate:
Midpoint y= (y1+y2)/2 = (5+(-1))/2= 4/2 = 2
ym=2
Midpoint= (2,2)
