midpoint

Question

(6,7) and (-1,-1)

Answer 1

To find the midpoint of the points \((6, 7)\) and \((-1, -1)\), you can use the midpoint formula:

\[ \text{Midpoint} = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right) \]

In this case, \((x_1, y_1) = (6, 7)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (-1, -1)\). Plugging in the values:

\[ \text{Midpoint} = \left( \frac{6 + (-1)}{2}, \frac{7 + (-1)}{2} \right) \]

Calculating each part:

\[ \text{Midpoint} = \left( \frac{5}{2}, \frac{6}{2} \right) = \left( 2.5, 3 \right) \]

Therefore, the midpoint is \((2.5, 3)\).
