Question

What are the two points in the image and what is the midpoint?

Answer 1

One can observe the midpoint is
`(-3,1)`.

But in order to verify the observation we must use formula to compute the midpoint of the segment formed by the endpoints.

The formula for such midpoint is
`((x_1+x_2)/(2), (y_1+y_2)/(2))` where
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)` are endpoints.

Our endpoints are
`(-5,-3)` and
`(-1,5)`, so our midpoint is

`((-5-1)/(2), (-3+5)/(2))=\boxed{(-3,1)}`.

Hope this helps.
