Question

name____________________ period_ 9/18/25 geometry day 3 exit (midpoint) exit: find the midpoint of the given two points. (-4, 4), (5, -1) use of graph is optional.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

The mid - point formula for two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $M=(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$. Here $x_1=-4,y_1 = 4,x_2=5,y_2=-1$.

Step2: Calculate the x - coordinate of the mid - point

$x=\frac{-4 + 5}{2}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5$

Step3: Calculate the y - coordinate of the mid - point

$y=\frac{4+( - 1)}{2}=\frac{4 - 1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5$

Answer:

$(0.5,1.5)$
