Find the midpoint between the points (5,9) and (-7,-7) and round to the nearest tenth.
Write your answer as an ordered pair like (4,5) with NO SPACES!
The x-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the x-coordinates of the two points, and the y-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the y-coordinates of the two points.
x-coordinate of the midpoint = (5 + (-7))/2 = -2/2 = -1
y-coordinate of the midpoint = (9 + (-7))/2 = 2/2 = 1
Therefore, the midpoint is (-1, 1).
To find the midpoint between two points, we need to average the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates separately.
Given the points (5, 9) and (-7, -7), we can calculate the midpoint as follows:
Midpoint x-coordinate = (5 + -7) / 2 = -2 / 2 = -1
Midpoint y-coordinate = (9 + -7) / 2 = 2 / 2 = 1
Rounding to the nearest tenth, the midpoint between the given points is (-1, 1).
