Answer:
(-2, 3) is the midpoint of the line.
Step-by-step explanation:
Coordinates of the midpoint of the line joining the points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂)
= [(x₁ + x₂)/2 , (y₁ + y₂)/2] (keep in mind)
The midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (5, –1) and (–9, 7)
= [ ( 5 + (-9))/2 , ((-1) + 7)/2 ]
= [ (-4)/2 , 6/2 ]
= [ -2, 3 ]
∴The midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (5, –1) and (–9, 7) is
(-2, 3).
