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

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

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

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

Step 3

Add $- 5$ and $1$ .

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

Step 4

Divide $- 4$ by $2$ .

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

Step 5

Add $- 1$ and $9$ .

$(- 2, \frac{8}{2})$

Step 6

Divide $8$ by $2$ .

$(- 2, 4)$
