Question #c3271

Answer 1

`(4,3)`

Explanation:

The midpoint of 2 points `(x_1,y_1)" and " (x_2,y_2)` is the `color(blue)"average"` of the x and y coordinates.

`"That is " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)([1/2(x_1+x_2),1/2(y_1+y_2)])color(white)(2/2)|)))`

`"here " (x_1,y_1)=(2,7)" and " (x_2,y_2)=(6,-1)`

`"midpoint " =[1/2(2+6),1/2(7-1)]=(4,3)`
