Question

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints. (-10.2) and (0,-7)​

Answer 1

`=\left(-5,\:-(5)/(2)\right)`

Explanation:

`\mathrm{Midpoint\:of\:}\left(x_1,\:y_1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right):\quad \left((x_2+x_1)/(2),\:\:(y_2+y_1)/(2)\right)\\\\\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-10,\:2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(0,\:-7\right)\\\\=\left((0-10)/(2),\:(-7+2)/(2)\right)\\\\= ((-10)/(2) , (-5)/(2))\\ \\=\left(-5,\:-(5)/(2)\right)`
