M=
COD

Answer 1

The midpoint is (-2,-1)

Explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

( -7+3)/2 = -4/2 =-2

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

(-6+4)/2 = -2/2 =-1

The midpoint is (-2,-1)
