Math help, thank you so much!

Answer 1

`\sf (4, -6)`

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint (
`\sf M`) of a line segment with endpoints
`\sf (x_1, y_1)` and
`\sf (x_2, y_2)` can be found using the midpoint formula:

`\sf M = \left((x_1 + x_2)/(2), (y_1 + y_2)/(2)\right)`

Given the endpoints
`\sf (0, -7)` and
`\sf (8, -5)`, let's apply the formula:

`\sf M = \left((0 + 8)/(2), ((-7) + (-5))/(2)\right)`

`\sf M = \left((8)/(2), (-12)/(2)\right)`

`\sf M = (4, -6)`

So, the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints
`\sf (0, -7)` and
`\sf (8, -5)` is
`\sf (4, -6)`.

Answer 2

(4, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

`\sf (x_m, y_m) = ((x_1+x_2)/(2), (y_1+y_2)/(2))`

where:

`\sf (x_m,y_m) \ is \ the \ mid \ point\ coordinate`

Find the midpoint, given points are (0, -7), (8, -5).

`\sf (x_m, y_m) = ((0+8)/(2), (-7-5)/(2)) = ((8)/(2), (-12)/(2)) = (4,-6)`
