Question

Midpoint of the segment with endpoints (-8, 5) and (3, -6)

Answer 1

`\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{( - 2.5 \: , \: - 0.5)}}}}}`

Explanation:

Let the given points be A and B

Let A( -8 , 5 ) be ( x₁ , y₁ ) and B ( 3 , -6 ) be ( x₂, y₂ )

Finding the midpoint

`\boxed{ \sf{midpoint = ((x1 + x2)/(2) , \: (y1 + y2)/(2) )}}`

`\dashrightarrow{ \sf{( ( - 8 + 3)/(2) , \: (5 + ( - 6))/(2) )}}`

`\dashrightarrow{ \sf{( ( - 8 + 3)/(2) \: , \: (5 - 6)/(2) )}}`

`\dashrightarrow{ \sf{( ( - 5)/(2) \: , \: ( - 1)/(2) )}}`

`\dashrightarrow{ \sf{( - 2.5 \: , \: - 0.5 \: )}}`

Hope I helped !
