Find the Midpoint (-11,12) , (8,-5)

$(- 11, 12)$ , $(8, - 5)$

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

$(\frac{- 11 + 8}{2}, \frac{12 - 5}{2})$

Step 3

Add $- 11$ and $8$ .

$(\frac{- 3}{2}, \frac{12 - 5}{2})$

Step 4

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$(- \frac{3}{2}, \frac{12 - 5}{2})$

Step 5

Subtract $5$ from $12$ .

$(- \frac{3}{2}, \frac{7}{2})$
