Given Coordinates: x1 = 1 y1 = -1, x2 = -3 y2 = 3
Midpoint Formula: midpoint = (
Substitute the given coordinates into the Midpoint Formula and Simplify:midpoint = (
Therefore, (-1, 1) is the midpoint of the points (1, -1) and (-3, 3)
Midpoint Formula: midpoint = (
x1 + x2/2
, y1 + y2/2
)Substitute the given coordinates into the Midpoint Formula and Simplify:midpoint = (
1 + (-3)/2
, -1 + 3/2
)midpoint = ( 1 − 3/2
, -1 + 3/2
)midpoint = ( -2/2
, 2/2
)midpoint = (-1, 1)Therefore, (-1, 1) is the midpoint of the points (1, -1) and (-3, 3)
