Find the Midpoint (3,-1) , (-5,-3)

$(3, - 1)$ , $(- 5, - 3)$

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

$(\frac{3 - 5}{2}, \frac{- 1 - 3}{2})$

Step 3

Subtract $5$ from $3$ .

$(\frac{- 2}{2}, \frac{- 1 - 3}{2})$

Step 4

Divide $- 2$ by $2$ .

$(- 1, \frac{- 1 - 3}{2})$

Step 5

Subtract $3$ from $- 1$ .

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

Step 6

Divide $- 4$ by $2$ .

$(- 1, - 2)$
