1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment AB, where point A has coordinates (13,9)(-13, -9) and point B has coordinates (1,15)(1, 15).

2. Solution Steps

To find the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2), we use the midpoint formula:
Midpoint=(x1+x22,y1+y22) \text{Midpoint} = \left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\right)
In this case, we have x1=13x_1 = -13, y1=9y_1 = -9, x2=1x_2 = 1, and y2=15y_2 = 15.
Plugging these values into the midpoint formula, we get:
Midpoint=(13+12,9+152) \text{Midpoint} = \left(\frac{-13 + 1}{2}, \frac{-9 + 15}{2}\right)
Midpoint=(122,62) \text{Midpoint} = \left(\frac{-12}{2}, \frac{6}{2}\right)
Midpoint=(6,3) \text{Midpoint} = (-6, 3)

3. Final Answer

The coordinates of the midpoint of line AB are (6,3)(-6, 3).
