Answer:
(6,-2.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the midpoint between two points is:
[tex](\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})[/tex]
Now we substitute
We have than (9, -1) is [tex](x_{1}, y_{1})[/tex] and (3, - 4) is [tex](x_{2}, y_{2})[/tex]
So:
[tex](\frac{(9) + (3)}{2},\frac{(-1)+(-4)}{2})\\\\(-1) + (-4) = -5\\9 + 3 = 12\\[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex](\frac{12}{2}, \frac{-5}{2})\\\\12 / 2 = 6\\-5 / 2 = -2.5\\\\(6, -2.5)[/tex]
(6,-2.5)
I can do a graphic explanation if you want.
