Find the Midpoint (-6,5) , (3,-7)

$(- 6, 5)$ , $(3, - 7)$

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

$(\frac{- 6 + 3}{2}, \frac{5 - 7}{2})$

Step 3

Add $- 6$ and $3$ .

$(\frac{- 3}{2}, \frac{5 - 7}{2})$

Step 4

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$(- \frac{3}{2}, \frac{5 - 7}{2})$

Step 5

Subtract $7$ from $5$ .

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

Step 6

Divide $- 2$ by $2$ .

$(- \frac{3}{2}, - 1)$
