The midpoint of the segment is (-15/2, -15/2)

<h3>How to determine the midpoint?</h3>

The complete question is in the attached image

The points are given as:

(-8, -7) and (-7, -8)

The midpoint is calculated as:

(x,y) = 1/2 * (x1 + x2, y1 + y2)

So, we have:

(x,y) = 1/2 * (-8 - 7, -7 - 8)

Evaluate the difference

(x,y) = 1/2 * (-15, -15)

Evaluate the product

(x,y) = (-15/2, -15/2)

Hence, the midpoint of the segment is (-15/2, -15/2)
