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

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

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

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

Step 3

Subtract $1$ from $5$ .

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

Step 4

Divide $4$ by $2$ .

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

Step 5

Add $9$ and $9$ .

$(2, \frac{18}{2})$

Step 6

Divide $18$ by $2$ .

$(2, 9)$
