Given the points:
( -8, 5)
(2, -5)
x1 = -8
x2 = 2
y1 = 5
y2= -5
Determine the midpoint.
Midpoint formula.
M = (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2
Solution:
Substitute the given values of x1, x2, y1, and y2 to the midpoint formula.
M = (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2
M = (-8+ 5)/2 , (5 - 5)/2
M = -3/2, 0
Final answer:
M = -3/2, 0
