The image you uploaded shows the midpoint formula and an example to work on. The midpoint formula is:

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

This formula calculates the average of the x-values and the average of the y-values from two given points.

The problem asks you to find the midpoint between the points $(-1, 2)$ and $(-4, -3)$. To solve this:

1. Find the average of the x-values: $\frac{-1 + (-4)}{2} = \frac{-5}{2} = -2.5$

2. Find the average of the y-values: $\frac{2 + (-3)}{2} = \frac{-1}{2} = -0.5$

Thus, the midpoint is $(-2.5, -0.5)$.

Here are some additional related questions for you:

1. How do you interpret the midpoint in a geometric context?
2. What happens if the two points are in a different quadrant of the coordinate plane?
3. Can the midpoint formula be used for three-dimensional coordinates?
4. How can you find the midpoint if only the distance between two points is given?
5. What is the significance of the midpoint in real-world applications, like navigation or design?

Tip: Always double-check the signs of the values in the formula, as errors in adding or subtracting negative numbers can lead to mistakes!
