ok... to find the x-coordinate of the midpoint, you add both of the x-coordinate given up and then divide that sum by 2.
\n" ); document.write( "[7+(-3)]/2=4/2= 2= x coordinate.
\n" ); document.write( "you do the same thing to find the y-coordinate of the midpoint: add both of the given y-coordinates up and then divide their sum by 2.
\n" ); document.write( "[-5+(-9)]/2=(-14)/2= -7 = y-coordinate
\n" ); document.write( "so the midpoint would be at (2,-7)
\n" ); document.write( "
