Question

Find the coordinates for the midpoint of the segment with endpoints given.
(-16, 0) and (0, -16)

Answer 1

For the midpoint, you find the differences in x values and y values then divide them by 2. Like so:

Let's do x first:

(-16-0)/2 = (-16)/2 = -8

So our x coordinate is -8.

Now Y:

(-16)/2 = -8

So our Y coordinate is -8 as well.

So your answer is:

(-8,-8)
