A line segment has endpoints (0,4) and (5,6). To find the midpoint, use the midpoint formula:
X: (x1+x2)/2 = (0+5)/2 = 2.5
Y: (y1+y2)/2 = (4+6)/2 = 5
The coordinates of the midpoint are (2.5,5).

You can find the midpoint of each coordinate by averaging them. In other words, add the two x coordinates together and divide by 2 and add the two y coordinates together and divide by 2.
x-midpoint = (-3 + 5)/2 = 2/2 = 1
y-midpoint = (7 + -9)/2 = -2/2 = -1

The correct answer is (6, 6). The midpoint formula is ((x1 + x2)/2),((y1 + y2)/2) So 1 + 11 = 12, and 12/2 = 6 for both the x and y coordinates.

The midpoint is simply the point halfway between the x-coordinates and halfway between the y-coordinates:
Sum the x-coordinates and divide by 2:


Sum the y-coordinates and divide by 2:


Therefore the midpoint is (5.5, 6.5).

To solve this problem you will need to use the midpoint formula:
midpoint = $($\frac{x_{1}$$$+x_{2}$$}{2},$\frac{y_{1}$$$+y_{2}$}{2} )
Plug in the given values for the endpoints of the segment: (-1,4) and (3,16).
midpoint = ($\frac{-1+3}{2}$,$\frac{4+16}{2}$ ) = ($\frac{2}{2}$, $\frac{20}{2}$) = (1, 10)
