I've seen this type of question around so many times, it's getting tiring! Anyway,

Let P(x, y) be the midpoint.

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

So the coordinates of the midpoint are: P(1, 2)

The x coordinate of the midpoint is the sum of the x - coordinates of the given points divided by 2. Same for the y - coordinate of the midpoint.

The midpoint formula is:

Let P(x, y) be the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2).

x = (x1 + x2)/2
y = (y1 + y2)/2


The midpoint formula originates from this theory:
If a point P(x, y) divides a line segment joining points A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) in a ratio m : n internally, Then,

x = (mx2 + nx1)/(m + n)
y = (my2 + ny1)/(m + n)

Hey there!

Here's the answer. We have to use a midpoint formula to find the answer. M=((x1+x2)/2),((y1+y2)/2).

M=((x1+x2)/2),((y1+y2)/2) -->
M=((3+(-1))/2),((0+4)/2) -->
M=((3-1)/2),((0+4)/2) -->
M=(2/2),(4/2) -->
M=(1,2)

So the midpoint is (1,2).

Hope it helps!

3+ (-2) = 2

2/2=1
'
0+4=4

4/2=2

Add the x's together and divide by 2, then add they y's together and divide by 2..And your answer is: (1,2)
