the midpoint x value is the average of the two given x values and the midpoint y value is the average of the two given y values.
\n" ); document.write( "So,
\n" ); document.write( "midpoint of (1,-7) and (-5,-3) is ( $\"%281%2B%28-5%29%29%2F2\"$ , $\"%28-7%2B%28-3%29%29%2F2\"$ )
\n" ); document.write( "=
\n" ); document.write( "( $\"-2\"$ , $\"-5%29\"$ )
\n" ); document.write( "always check to make sure that the point looks like it is about in the middle \n" ); document.write( "
