We have three similar triangles, let's see if we can get this right, right vertex first, then other vertex from small side:
EDF ~ GDE ~ GEF
As ratios that means
ED:DF:EF = GD:DE:GE = GE:EF:GF
x:20:y = 5:x:GE = GE:y:15
Since we're after y we choose
20/y = y/15
20(15) = y²
y² = 300
y = 10√3
y ≈ 17.32
Answer: (0,-15)
--------------------------------------------------
Explanation:
Add up the x coordinates to get 1+(-1) = 0. Divide this sum in half to get 0/2 = 0. Therefore the x coordinate of the midpoint is 0.
Repeat for the y coordinates. First add the y coordinates to get -7+(-23) = -30. Then divide that result in half to get -30/2 = -15. So the y coordinate of the midpoint is -15.
Overall, the midpoint is (0,-15).
