Midpoint formula
The question

Midpoint of (-5, -5) and (1, 3)
How it works.
(-5 + 1) ÷ 2=-2
(-5 + 3) ÷ 2=-1
(-2, -1)
- 01
The midpoint is halfway between, so average each coordinate on its own. The x's first: (-5 + 1) ÷ 2 = -2.
- 02
Now the y's the same way: (-5 + 3) ÷ 2 = -1.
- 03
So the midpoint is (-2, -1).
