Find the Midpoint (-1,1) , (5,-5)

$(- 1, 1)$ , $(5, - 5)$

Step 1

Use the midpoint formula to find the midpoint of the line segment.

$(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2})$

Step 2

Substitute in the values for $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ .

$(\frac{- 1 + 5}{2}, \frac{1 - 5}{2})$

Step 3

Add $- 1$ and $5$ .

$(\frac{4}{2}, \frac{1 - 5}{2})$

Step 4

Divide $4$ by $2$ .

$(2, \frac{1 - 5}{2})$

Step 5

Subtract $5$ from $1$ .

$(2, \frac{- 4}{2})$

Step 6

Divide $- 4$ by $2$ .

$(2, - 2)$
