The x-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the x-coordinates of the two points, and the y-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the y-coordinates of the two points.
x-coordinate of the midpoint = (5 + (-7))/2 = -2/2 = -1
y-coordinate of the midpoint = (9 + (-7))/2 = 2/2 = 1
Therefore, the midpoint is (-1, 1).
Find the midpoint between the points (5,9) and (-7,-7) and round to the nearest tenth.
