Question

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below?1010-10(-8,-7)(-7,-8) -10- A. (-15, -15)B. (-15, -15) C. (-15, -15)D. (-15, -15)

Answer 1

Given

The line segment with end points (-8, -7), (-7, -8).

To find:

The midpoint of the given segment.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The line segment with end points (-8, -7), (-7, -8).

That implies,

`\begin{gathered} Midpoint=((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2)) \\ =((-8+(-7))/(2),(-7+(-8))/(2)) \\ =((-8-7)/(2),(-7-8)/(2)) \\ =(-(15)/(2),-(15)/(2)) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the midpoint of the line segment is (-15/2, -15/2).
