For the midpoint, you find the differences in x values and y values then divide them by 2. Like so:
Let's do x first:
(-16-0)/2 = (-16)/2 = -8
So our x coordinate is -8.
Now Y:
(-16)/2 = -8
So our Y coordinate is -8 as well.
So your answer is:
(-8,-8)
The reciprocal of any number is the other number you must multiply it by to equal one. In this case it's 9/2
Y=13
(when you have fractions like the one in this problem, you get rid of them by multiplying both sides by the denominator.)
Answer: -13/17
