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)

The statements about the function that are true are
The equation of the graph is given as
f(x) = (x - 1)(x + 7)
The graph of the function is added as an attachment
On the graph, we have
Vertex = (-3, -16)
This is so because the graph has a minimum point of (-3, -16)
Also, the graph crosses the x-axis at x = 1 and x = -7
This means that the graph is positive at x >1 and x >-7
Because the vertex is a minimum, the graph is increasing at the left of its symmetry i.e. x > -3
