Find the Midpoint (-6,1) , (-1,1)

$(- 6, 1)$ , $(- 1, 1)$

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

$(\frac{- 6 - 1}{2}, \frac{1 + 1}{2})$

Step 3

Subtract $1$ from $- 6$ .

$(\frac{- 7}{2}, \frac{1 + 1}{2})$

Step 4

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$(- \frac{7}{2}, \frac{1 + 1}{2})$

Step 5

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$(- \frac{7}{2}, \frac{2}{2})$

Step 6

Divide $2$ by $2$ .

$(- \frac{7}{2}, 1)$
