What is the midpoint between the coordinate points (-6, 7) and (-2, -3)?

To find the midpoint between the two coordinate points (-6, 7) and (-2, -3), you can use the midpoint formula, which is given by:

[

\left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right)

]

Here, ( (x_1, y_1) ) is the first point (-6, 7), and ( (x_2, y_2) ) is the second point (-2, -3).

First, calculate the x-coordinate of the midpoint:

[

\frac{-6 + (-2)}{2} = \frac{-8}{2} = -4

]

Next, calculate the y-coordinate of the midpoint:

[

\frac{7 + (-3)}{2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2

]

Combining both results gives the midpoint as the coordinate point (-4, 2). This confirms that the correct answer is indeed (-4, 2).

Each of the other choices does not yield the right calculations from the given points, therefore they cannot represent the midpoint. The selected answer correctly
