Answer:
Midpoint = (-2.5, -1.5)
Explanation:
We can find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints using the following formula:
M = (x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2. where
- M is the midpoint,
- (x1, y1) is one point,
- and (x2, y2) is another point.
Thus, we can allow (3, 7) to be (x1, y1) and (-8, -10) TO BE (x2, y2):
M = (3 + (-8)) / 2, (7 + (-10)) / 2
M = (3 - 8) / 2, (7 - 10) / 2
M = (-5) / 2, (-3) / 2
M = (-2.5, -1.5)
Thus, the midpoint of the segment with the endpoints E(3, 7) and F(-8, -10) is (-2.5, -1.5).
