Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x-coordinate of midpoint: is -8 + (2 - [-8]), or -8 + 10/2, or - 8+ 5, or x = -3.

y-coordinate of midpoint: notice that the distance from -6 to -10 is 4; the y-coordinate of the midpoint is found by starting with -6 and adding 4/2: -4

The midpoint is (-3, -4)

I can’t figure out the solution I think it is y < -10

Hey there!

With negatives ( $-$ ) you have to switch your symbol to the other way
$\bold{\frac{y}{-2}\leq5}$
Firstly, substitute the $\bold{y\ value }$ as an invisible 1
So, now we have to flip the equation around
$\bold{\frac{-1}{2}y\leq5}$
We have to $\bold{multiply}$ by $\bold{-2}$ on each of your sides
$\bold{-2\times\frac{-1}{2}\leq-2\times5}$
$\bold{Cancel \ out:2\times\frac{-1}{2}y \ because \ it \ equal \ 1}$
$\bold{Keep: -2\times5 \ because \ it \ helps \ us \ find \ our \ answer}$
$\bold{-2\times5=-10}$
$\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:y\geq-10}}}\checkmark$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
