Question

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below?

-10
(-8,-7)
(-7,-8) -10-
10
OA (-15-15)
A.
O B. (-15,-15)
O C. (-15, -15)
OD. (-15, -15)

Answer 1

Remember that the formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is given by

`M((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))`

substitute given coordinates

`\begin{gathered} M((-8-7)/(2),(-7-8)/(2)) \\ \\ M(-(15)/(2),-(15)/(2)) \end{gathered}`

The answer is option B
