Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are given. W (-3, -7) and X (-8, -4) (-5/2, -11/2) (-11/2, -11/2) (-5/2, -3/2)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\left(-\dfrac{11}{2};\ -\dfrac{11}{2}\right)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a midpoint of the segment"

$\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2};\ \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

We have the points W(-3, -7) and X(-8, -4).

Substitute:

$x=\dfrac{-3+(-8)}{2}=\dfrac{-11}{2}\\\\y=\dfrac{-7+(-4)}{2}=\dfrac{-11}{2}$
