Answer 1

The answer is

( - 2 , 0)

Explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

`M = ( (x1 + x2)/(2) , \: (y1 + y2)/(2) )`

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

A(-7, 4) and B(3,-4)

The midpoint is

`M = ( ( - 7 + 3)/(2) , \: ( - 4 + 4)/(2) ) \\ = ( - (4)/(2) , \: (0)/(2) )`

We have the final answer as

( - 2 , 0)

Hope this helps you
