Answer: (-1/2, 0) which is the same as saying (-0.5, 0)

================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The x coordinates of A and B are -2 and 1 respectively.

Add up those values to get -2+1 = -1

Then cut that result in half: -1/2 = -0.5

This is the x coordinate of the midpoint.

--------

Repeat for the y coordinates:

Add: 1 + (-1) = 0

Cut in half: 0/2 = 0

The y coordinate of the midpoint is 0

-------

Overall, the midpoint is located at (-1/2, 0) which is the same as writing (-0.5, 0). This is where the segment AB crosses the x axis.
