Question

What is the midpoint of (-3, 5) and (2, -1)?

Answer 1

The middle number between two.numbers is the average. Add the numbers and divide by 2.

The midpoint uses the average of the `x`'s and the average of the `y`'s. So

`x` coordinate: `(-3+2)/2 = -1/2`

`y` coordinate: `(5+(-1))/2 = 4/2 =2`

The midpoint is `(-1/2, 2)`
