Question

t(-12, -7) and u(2, 0) are the endpoints of a line segment. what is the midpoint m of that line segment? write the coordinates as decimals or integers. m = ( )

Explanation:

Step1: Apply midpoint formula for x-coordinate

$\frac{-12 + 2}{2} = \frac{-10}{2} = -5$

Step2: Apply midpoint formula for y-coordinate

$\frac{-7 + 0}{2} = \frac{-7}{2} = -3.5$

Answer:

(-5, -3.5)
