Question

n by typing into the red boxes.
midpoint formula
point 1: $\boldsymbol{(-2_{x_1}, 3_{y_1})}$ point 2: $\boldsymbol{(-7_{x_2}, -7_{y_2})}$
substitute the values in the formula.
$\boldsymbol{\left(\frac{-2 + -7}{2}, \frac{-7 + -7}{2}\
ight)}$
simplify.
midpoint = $(\square, \square)$

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate x - coordinate of midpoint

The midpoint formula for the x - coordinate is $\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}$. Given $x_1=-2$ and $x_2 = - 7$, we substitute these values into the formula: $\frac{-2+(-7)}{2}=\frac{-9}{2}=-4.5$

Step2: Calculate y - coordinate of midpoint

The midpoint formula for the y - coordinate is $\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}$. Given $y_1 = 3$ and $y_2=-7$, we substitute these values into the formula: $\frac{3+(-7)}{2}=\frac{-4}{2}=-2$

Answer:

$(-4.5, - 2)$
