Pre-Algebra Examples

$(3, 0)$ , $(- 2, - 3)$

Step 1

Use the midpoint formula to find the midpoint of the line segment.

$(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2})$

Step 2

Substitute in the values for $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ .

$(\frac{3 - 2}{2}, \frac{0 - 3}{2})$

Step 3

Subtract $2$ from $3$ .

$(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{0 - 3}{2})$

Step 4

Subtract $3$ from $0$ .

$(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{- 3}{2})$

Step 5

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$(\frac{1}{2}, - \frac{3}{2})$
