find the midpoint between these points
(-2,7)and (-8,-5) thank you
midpoint is (sum of the x values/2,sum of the y values/2)
(really you are just finding the "average" of the x's and y's.)
tell me what you get.
To find the midpoint between two points, you can use the formula:
Midpoint = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2)
where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.
In this case, the coordinates of the first point (-2, 7) are (x1 = -2, y1 = 7) and the coordinates of the second point (-8, -5) are (x2 = -8, y2 = -5).
Now, let's calculate the midpoint:
Midpoint = ((-2 + -8)/2, (7 + -5)/2)
= (-10/2, 2/2)
= (-5, 1)
Therefore, the midpoint between the points (-2, 7) and (-8, -5) is (-5, 1).
