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).
