The midpoint between two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by:

$\huge  Midpoint (x, y) = ((\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}), (\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}))$

anonymous · Answer

yes and after you do that you get  (2,7)

anonymous · Answer

after that i get confused

anonymous · Answer

How do you get 2???

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{2-4}{2} =??$$

anonymous · Answer

See, a point contains x and y coordinates, the question is asking you for y coordinates of the midpoint that you will calculate...

anonymous · Answer

lol i didnt read the question right.... one of those days

anonymous · Answer

You must get your midpoint as (-2, 7)..

And now you know out of -2 and 7 which is your y coordinate???

anonymous · Answer

Getting now???

anonymous · Answer

So, what will you get as your y coordinate???

anonymous · Answer

lol 7 sorry i been having one of those off days

anonymous · Answer

It is okay..

Keep trying and practising more and more..
