Answer:

The coordinates of the point N is (2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

For us to find the midpoint between two points

We use the midpoint formula which is;

(x,y) = (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2

We start by finding the midpoint of AB to get the coordinates of the point M

A(-1,3) and B(7,-3)

(x,y) = (-1 + 7)/2, (3-3)/2 = (6/2,0/2) = (3,0)

Now that we have the coordinate of M, we can find the midpoint of CM to get the coordinates of N

C(1,6) and M (3,0)

(x,y) = (1 + 3)/2, (6+0)/2 = (4/2, 6/2) = (2,3)
