37) is (x2,Now just plug into formula (4+60)/2 = 64/2 = 32 ...........
what is the midpoint of the segment between (4,-15) and (60,37)? Answer using this format (_,_)

-
You need to use the midpoint formulas (x1+x2)/2 and (y1+y2)/2

(4,-15) is (x1,y1) so x1= 4. And y1= -15

(60,37) is (x2,y2) so x2= 60 and y2= 37

Now just plug into formula
(4+60)/2 = 64/2 = 32 ......... so x=32

(-15+37)/2= 22/2= 11 ......... so y= 11

Then answer in form (x,y)
So (32,11) is the answer

-
To find each mid point find the mean of the x and y values. Start with x:
(4+60)/2=32
Then y:
(37-15)/2=11

So the midpoint is (32,11)

-
The midpoint is [(4+60)/2, (-15+37)/2] = (32,11)

-
(32,11)
