Midpoint formula is just the average of the coordinates.

x = (1+4)/2 = 5/2
y = (1+-3)/2 = -2/2 = -1

Midpoint is (5/2, -1)

The formula for this question is;

[(x1+x2)/2] , [(y1+y2)/2]....so let's plug those numbers.

As ( x1, y1) is ( 1 , 1 ) and ( x2 ,y2 ) is ( 4 , -3 ).....then using the formula,we sould get the midpoint-->

[ ( 1 + 4 ) / 2 ] + [ (1 + (-3) ) / 2 ]= as we calculate,we get

[ ( 5 / 2 ) , ( -1 ) ],this is the midpont for these two point.....

The easiest way to do this is to mean the x's and the y's:
1+4= 5; 5/2=2.5
1-3=-2; -2/2=-1
so... (2.5,-1) is the midpoint.

Midpoint formula:
(x1+x2)/2 and (y1+y2)/2

x=(1+4)/2=5/2
y=(1-3)/2=-1

(5/2,-1)

here
the midpoint between (1,1) and (4,-3) is {(1+4)/2,(1-3)/2}
ie:(5/2,-1)

Use graph for this easily you can find it.
The answer is ( 2.5,-1)
Actually the distance between these two points is 5.
Half of it (i.e, 2.5 distance ) will meet at (2.5,-1)
Another way is use the simple formula is (( ( x1+ x2) / 2) , (( y1+ y2) / 2)).
