SOLUTION: Do i have this one correct. Using points P(2,-9) and Q(-3,3), what is the midpoint x = (2,-3)/2 = -6/2 = -3 y = (-9,3)/2 = -6/2 = -3 midpoint would be (-3,-3) Thanks

: Do i have this one correct.
Using points P(2,-9) and Q(-3,3), what is the midpoint
x = (2,-3)/2 = -6/2 = -3
y = (-9,3)/2 = -6/2 = -3
midpoint would be (-3,-3)
Thanks for checking this one out for me! This question is from textbook college algebra

The X value of the midpoint is the average of the two X values.
That is %28%282%2B%28-3%29%29%2F2%29 which is -%281%2F2%29
The Y value of the midpoint is the average of the two Y values.
That is%28-9%2B3%29%2F2 which is -6%2F2 which is -3
So, the midpoint is (-1/2, -3)
