Answer:
M = (-3,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the midpoint M of the line segment joining the points
A = (-5,7) and B = (-1, -5)
The mid point of the line segment joining the points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is given by :
[tex]M=(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2})\\\\M=(\dfrac{-5+(-1)}{2},\dfrac{7+(-5)}{2})\\\\M=(-3,1)[/tex]
Hence, the required point is (-3,1).
