Find the Midpoint (-1,-5) and (-5,9)

$(- 1, - 5)$ and $(- 5, 9)$

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 $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ .

$(\frac{- 1 - 5}{2}, \frac{- 5 + 9}{2})$

Step 3

Subtract $5$ from $- 1$ .

$(\frac{- 6}{2}, \frac{- 5 + 9}{2})$

Step 4

Divide $- 6$ by $2$ .

$(- 3, \frac{- 5 + 9}{2})$

Step 5

Add $- 5$ and $9$ .

$(- 3, \frac{4}{2})$

Step 6

Divide $4$ by $2$ .

$(- 3, 2)$
