Find the Midpoint (-3,-4) , (5,-5)

$(- 3, - 4)$ , $(5, - 5)$

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

$(\frac{- 3 + 5}{2}, \frac{- 4 - 5}{2})$

Step 3

Add $- 3$ and $5$ .

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

Step 4

Divide $2$ by $2$ .

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

Step 5

Subtract $5$ from $- 4$ .

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

Step 6

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

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