Answer 2

Answer:

Midpoint (2 , -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

RULE: (midpoint)

Consider P(x1,y1)and Q(x2,y2) two points:

the midpoint M(x,y) of the segment PQ is defined like this:

$x = \frac{x1+x2}{2} \\\\y=\frac{y1+y2}{2}$

In our case

x1 = 6 ; y1 = -3

x2 = -2 ; y2 = -7

then

$x = \frac{6+(-2)}{2} =2\\\\y = \frac{(-3)+(-7)}{2} =-5$
