Question

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below?

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

-8 + -7 = -15/2

-7 + -8 = -15/2

formula:

x1 + x2 / 2

y1 +y2 / 2

= midpoint

Answer 2

`((-15)/(2) ,(-15)/(2) )`

Explanation:

Two points are (-8,-7) and (-7,-8)

To find midpoint apply the formula

`((x_1+x_2)/(2) ,(y_1+y_2)/(2) )`

(-8,-7) is (x1,y1) and (-7,-8) is (x2,y2)

`((x_1+x_2)/(2) ,(y_1+y_2)/(2) )`

`((-8-7)/(2) ,(-7-8)/(2) )`

`((-15)/(2) ,(-15)/(2) )`
