Question

What is the midpoint of AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯?

Answer 1

`(-4,-(1)/(2))\\`

Explanation:

The midpoint between two points can be calculated by
`((x_1 +x_2)/(2), (y_1 +y_2)/(2))\\` where
`x_n` and
`y_n` is the
`xy`-coordinates of point
`n`.

In your case we have two endpoints:
`A(-5,-4)` and
`B(-3,3)`. So the midpoint can be calculated as:

`((x_A +x_B)/(2), (y_A +y_B)/(2)) \\ ((-5 +(-3))/(2), (-4 +3)/(2)) \\ ((-5 -3)/(2),(-4 +3)/(2)) \\ ((-8)/(2),(-1)/(2)) \\ (-4,-(1)/(2))`

The midpoint of
`\overline{AB}` is
`(-4,-(1)/(2))\\`
