Question
![**Find the midpoint of the line segment shown below.**
The image features a graph with a line segment connecting two points. The horizontal axis ranges from -6 to 6, and the vertical axis ranges from -6 to 6.
- The first point is at (-4, 2) and is marked with a blue dot.
- The second point is at (3, 5) and is also marked with a blue dot.
- A blue line segment connects these two points.
**Coordinates of Midpoint =** [ ]
To find the midpoint of a line segment between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\), use the midpoint formula:
\[
\left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right)
\]
Apply this formula to the coordinates of the points provided above to find the midpoint.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F1ec86780-754e-4dc1-88b7-062788875a29%2F8befa97b-4ba6-475e-b872-03504fb26ab7%2Fendzhng_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
