Given Coordinates: x1 = 4 y1 = 7, x2 = -6 y2 = -1
Midpoint Formula: midpoint = (
Substitute the given coordinates into the Midpoint Formula and Simplify:midpoint = (
Therefore, (-1, 3) is the midpoint of the points (4, 7) and (-6, -1)
Midpoint Formula: midpoint = (
x1 + x2/2
, y1 + y2/2
)Substitute the given coordinates into the Midpoint Formula and Simplify:midpoint = (
4 + (-6)/2
, 7 + (-1)/2
)midpoint = ( 4 − 6/2
, 7 − 1/2
)midpoint = ( -2/2
, 6/2
)midpoint = (-1, 3)Therefore, (-1, 3) is the midpoint of the points (4, 7) and (-6, -1)
