Question

directions - use the midpoint formula to find the midpoint of the coordinates (-5,5) and (2,4)
midpoint formula:
midpoint =

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates

Let $(x_1,y_1)=(-5,5)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(2,4)$

Step2: Calculate x-coordinate of midpoint

$\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}=\frac{-5+2}{2}=\frac{-3}{2}=-1.5$

Step3: Calculate y-coordinate of midpoint

$\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}=\frac{5+4}{2}=\frac{9}{2}=4.5$

Answer:

$(-1.5, 4.5)$
