Answer: (3,4)

Explanation:

To find the midpoint, you want to use the formula
m=((x_1+x_2)/(2) ,(y_1+y_2)/(2) ). Since we are given the two points, we can plug them in and solve.


m=((-1+7)/(2) ,(9+(-1))/(2) ) [add numerator]


m=((6)/(2) ,(8)/(2) ) [divide]


m=(3,4)

Now, we know that the midpoint is (3,4).
