Answer:

[tex](\frac{5}{2},-\frac{7}{2})[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below?

(1,-1) (4, -6)

we know that

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

[tex]M(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})[/tex]

we have

[tex](x_1,y_1)=(1,-1)\\(x_2,y_2)=(4,-6)[/tex]

substitute the given values

[tex]M(\frac{1+4}{2},\frac{-1-6}{2})[/tex]

[tex]M(\frac{5}{2},-\frac{7}{2})[/tex]
