Answer:
Midpoint = (-1, -1/2)
Explanation:
We can find the midpoint using the midpoint formula which is given by:
M = (x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2, where
- M is the coordinates of the midpoint,
- (x1, y1) are one point on the line segment,
- and (x2, y2) are another point on the line segment.
Thus, we can plug in (-9, -1) for (x1, y1) point and (7, 0) for (x2, y2) in the midpoint formula:
M = (-9 + 7) / 2, (-1 + 0) / 2
M = (-2) / 2, (-1) / 2
M = -1, -1/2
Thus, (-1, -1/2) is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (-9, -1) and (7, 0).
