Question

Find the midpoint of segment (- 4, - 5) and (- 7, - 3).​

Answer 1

Answer:

the midpoint of the segment is (-5.5,-4).

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the midpoint of the line connecting the points $(x,y)$ and $(a,b)$ is,

$\implies (\frac{x+a}{2},\frac{y+b}{2})$

Given the points (-4,-5) and (-7,-3). Then the coordinates of the midpoint are,

$\implies (\frac{-4+(-7)}{2}, \frac{-5+(-3)}{2})= (\frac{-11}{2},\frac{-8}{2}=(-5.5,-4)$

So the midpoint is (-5.5,-4).
