Question

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below (-8,-7) (-7,-8)

Answer 1

Given two points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) the midpoint would be:
M=((x₁+x₂)/2 , (y₁+y₂)/2)

In this case, the points would be: (-8,-7) and (-7,-8); therefore:
M=((-8-7)/2 , (-7-8)/2)=(-15/2,-15/2)

Answer: C.)  (-15/2 , -15,2)
