Part 1

The midpoint is

​(Type an ordered​ pair.) just give me the answer

The midpoint of a segment with endpoints \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is given by the formula:

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

For the endpoints \((44, -1)\) and \((-9, 66)\), the coordinates of the midpoint are:

\[
\left( \frac{44 + (-9)}{2}, \frac{-1 + 66}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{35}{2}, \frac{65}{2} \right)
\]

So, the midpoint is:

\[
\left( 17.5, 32.5 \right)
\]

The midpoint is \((17.5, 32.5)\).
