Step 1
We need to find the midpoint of ( 9 , - 9 ) and ( - 3 , 7 )
For that, we use the midpoint formula
Midpoint formula = ( x , y ) = ( x 1 + x 2 2 , y 1 + y 2 2 )
(x and y are the points of the midpoint)
Step 2
We know that,
( 9 , - 9 ) = ( x 1 , y 1 )
( - 3 , 7 ) = ( x 2 , y 2 )
So the midpoint is
( x 1 + x 2 2 , y 1 + y 2 2 )
( 9 + ( - 3 ) 2 , - 9 + 7 2 )
( 6 2 , - 2 2 )
( 3 , - 1 )
Therefore, the midpont is ( 3 , - 1 )
