What is the midpoint of the segment with endpoints \((-2, -3)\) and \((6, -1)\)?

Let's work it out together.

Work through one checkpoint at a time. Your answer area opens after the reasoning.

Checkpoint 1

Average the two x-coordinates.
Checkpoint 2

Average the two y-coordinates.
Checkpoint 3

Check that the result lies halfway between the endpoints in both directions.

\((2, -2)\)\((3, -2)\)\((2, -1)\)\((3, -3)\)
