Exercise 35 Page 276

Use the Midpoint Formula.

(1,1)

Practice makes perfect
To find the midpoint, we can use the Midpoint Formula. (x_1+ x_2/2,y_1+ y_2/2)The coordinates of the given endpoints are ( -2,3) and ( 4,-1). Let's use these to find the coordinates of the midpoint.
M(x_1+ x_2/2,y_1+ y_2/2)
M(-2+ 4/2,3+( -1)/2)
M(2/2,2/2)
M(1,1)
The midpoint is located at (1,1).
