Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints. (-10.2) and (0,-7)​

Answer 1

Answer:

$=\left(-5,\:-\frac{5}{2}\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Midpoint\:of\:}\left(x_1,\:y_1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right):\quad \left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)\\\\\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-10,\:2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(0,\:-7\right)\\\\=\left(\frac{0-10}{2},\:\frac{-7+2}{2}\right)\\\\= (\frac{-10}{2} , \frac{-5}{2})\\ \\=\left(-5,\:-\frac{5}{2}\right)$
