What is the midpoint of the line segments that runs between (-3,1) and (1,5)

Answer 1

The formula for midpoint is x = (x₁+x₂)/2 and y=(y₁+y₂)/2

Plugging in values we get:

x = (-3+1)/2 = -2/2 = -1

y= (1+5)/2 = 6/2 = 3

Putting them together the solution is (-1,3)

Answer 2

The midpoint is the middle of the line segment which you can find with the following formula: (x1 + x2 / 2) , (y1 + y2 /2). In this example the variables are as follows:

x1 = -3

x2 = 1

y1 = 1

y2 =5

To solve the equation, replace each value for the respective variable:

( (-3) + 1 / 2) = -1 and (1 + 5 / 2) = 3

So the midpoint of this line segment is (-1, 3)
