Find the Midpoint (-5,6) , (2,7)

$(- 5, 6)$ , $(2, 7)$

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

$(\frac{- 5 + 2}{2}, \frac{6 + 7}{2})$

Step 3

Add $- 5$ and $2$ .

$(\frac{- 3}{2}, \frac{6 + 7}{2})$

Step 4

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$(- \frac{3}{2}, \frac{6 + 7}{2})$

Step 5

Add $6$ and $7$ .

$(- \frac{3}{2}, \frac{13}{2})$
