Answer:

The answer is

( 6 , 1)

Explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula


M = ( (x1 + x2)/(2) , \: (y1 + y2)/(2) )

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(6, 7) and (6,-5)

The midpoint is


M = ( (6 + 6)/(2) \: , \: (7 - 5)/(2) ) \\ = ( (12)/(2) \: , \: (2)/(2) )

We have the final answer as

( 6 , 1)

Hope this helps you
