What is the midpoint of the segment with endpoints \((-1, -5)\) and \((9, 1)\)?

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.

\((4, -1)\)\((5, -3)\)\((4, -2)\)\((5, -2)\)
