Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (7, -12) and (-5, -15).

Answer 1

(1,-27/2)
Midpoint formula
(X1+x2/2, y1+y2/2)

Answer 2

The midpoint is (1,-13.5)

Explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates of the endpoints and divide by 2

(7+-5) /2 = 2/2 =1

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates of the endpoints and divide by 2

(-12+-15) /2 = -27/2 =-13.5

The midpoint is (1,-13.5)
