Question #23976

Answer 1

`(0,-1/2)`

Explanation:

Given the coordinate points `(x_1,y_1)" and " (x_2,y_2)` then the coordinates of the midpoint `(x_m,y_m)` are found as follows.

`x_m=1/2(x_1+x_2)" the average of the x-coordinates"`

and `y_m=1/2(y_1+y_2)" the average of the y-coordinates"`

here `(x_1,y_1)=(-1,2)" and " (x_2,y_2)=(1,-3)`

`rArrx_m=1/2(-1+1)=0`

and `y_m=1/2(2-3)=-1/2`

Hence coordinates of midpoint `=(0,-1/2)`
