How do you calculate midpoint formula ( -5 , 3 ) and ( -1,-3)

Question

Calculate. Using midpoint formula for

(-5,3) (-1,-3)

Answer 1

The co-ordinates of the midpoint of the line joining 2 points of which you know the co-ordinates are the averages of the co-ordinates of the endpoints.

If the points are (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y_2), then the co-ordinates of the midpoint are [(x₁ + x₂)/2,(y₁ + y₂)/2].
