Find the Midpoint (-1,-9) , (2,4)

$(- 1, - 9)$ , $(2, 4)$

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

$(\frac{- 1 + 2}{2}, \frac{- 9 + 4}{2})$

Step 3

Add $- 1$ and $2$ .

$(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{- 9 + 4}{2})$

Step 4

Add $- 9$ and $4$ .

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

Step 5

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

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