Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step 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

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

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

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

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{( \frac{ - 5}{2} \: , \: \frac{ - 1}{2} )}}$

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

Hope I helped !
