Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The midpoint of a line segment with endpoints $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by $\left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right)$. For the given endpoints $(6, -9)$ and $(-4, 0)$, the midpoint is $\left( \frac{6 - 4}{2}, \frac{-9 + 0}{2} \right) = \left( 1, -\frac{9}{2} \right)$.
