What is the midpoint of line segment
\[\overline{AB}\]?
To find the midpoint of the line segment $\overline{AB}$, we average the x-coordinates and average the y-coordinates of points $A$ and $B$.
The x-coordinate of the midpoint is $\frac{(-7) + (-5)}{2} = -6$.
The y-coordinate of the midpoint is $\frac{(-7) + 5}{2} = -1$.
Therefore, the midpoint of line segment $\overline{AB}$ is $\boxed{(-6, -1)}$.
To find the midpoint of line segment AB, we can use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula states that the coordinates of the midpoint between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are given by the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates.
Let's apply this formula to find the midpoint of line segment AB.
The coordinates of point A are (-7, -7), and the coordinates of point B are (-5, 5).
To find the x-coordinate of the midpoint:
\[(x₁ + x₂)/2 = (-7 + (-5))/2 = -12/2 = -6\]
To find the y-coordinate of the midpoint:
\[(y₁ + y₂)/2 = (-7 + 5)/2 = -2/2 = -1\]
Therefore, the midpoint of line segment AB is (-6, -1).
To find the midpoint of a line segment, we can use the midpoint formula:
The midpoint formula states that the midpoint \((x_m, y_m)\) of a line segment with endpoints \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is given by the following equations:
\[x_m = \dfrac{x_1 + x_2}{2}\]
\[y_m = \dfrac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\]
In this case, the coordinates of point \(A\) are \((-7, -7)\) and the coordinates of point \(B\) are \((-5, 5)\).
Therefore, the midpoint \((x_m, y_m)\) of the line segment \(\overline{AB}\) is given by:
\[x_m = \dfrac{-7 + (-5)}{2} = \dfrac{-12}{2} = -6\]
\[y_m = \dfrac{-7 + 5}{2} = \dfrac{-2}{2} = -1\]
So the midpoint of line segment \(\overline{AB}\) is \((-6, -1)\).

What is the midpoint of line segment
\[\overline{AB}\]?
To find the midpoint of line segment $\overline{AB}$, we can use the midpoint formula.
The midpoint formula states that the midpoint $(x_m, y_m)$ of a line segment with endpoints $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by:
\[ x_m = \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} \]
\[ y_m = \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \]
In this case, the coordinates of point $A$ are $(-7, -7)$ and the coordinates of point $B$ are $(-5, 5)$.
Using the midpoint formula, we can calculate the midpoint of line segment $\overline{AB}$:
\[ x_m = \frac{-7 + (-5)}{2} = \frac{-12}{2} = -6 \]
\[ y_m = \frac{-7 + 5}{2} = \frac{-2}{2} = -1 \]
Therefore, the midpoint of line segment $\overline{AB}$ is $\boxed{(-6, -1)}$.
