Find the Midpoint (-5,-5) , (-3,2)

$(- 5, - 5)$ , $(- 3, 2)$

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

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

Step 3

Subtract $3$ from $- 5$ .

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

Step 4

Divide $- 8$ by $2$ .

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

Step 5

Add $- 5$ and $2$ .

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

Step 6

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

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